Midtjylland — Aarhus : Match Preview and Prediction for November 03,2025

Midtjylland’s Recent Performance and Coaching Impact

Just two months ago, Midtjylland made a bold move, controversially dismissing Thomas Thomasberg despite a six-game winning streak. The management sensed a stagnation in the team’s performance and brought in Mike Tullberg, who is now thoroughly validating the trust placed in him, navigating a psychologically challenging situation with remarkable success.

Offensive Prowess Under Tullberg

Under the new coach, the attack, spearheaded by Franculino, has been exceptionally potent, consistently scoring two or more goals in 9 out of 11 matches played since Tullberg took the helm. The past week was no exception for Midtjylland, showcasing their impressive scoring prowess.

Dominant Displays in League and Cup

They began by decisively defeating newcomer Fredericia 4-0 away in the Superliga last weekend, followed by a confident progression in the Danish Cup, thrashing Silkeborg 4-0 at home. Against Silkeborg, Tullberg opted for minor squad rotation, yet this did not hinder them from convincingly beating a Conference League qualifier. Although the score remained 0-0 for the first 70 minutes, key players introduced from the bench ultimately decided the outcome. The team is fully prepared to challenge the league leaders. The absences of Edward Chilufya and Ovie Ejheheri, who will not play against the visitors, are not expected to significantly impact the team’s performance.

Aarhus’ Successful Coaching Change

Aarhus also made a coaching change during the offseason, bringing in Jacob Poulsen, a move that appears to have paid off handsomely. The past week proved equally productive for the league leaders, who are currently focused solely on domestic competitions.

Recent Victories and Challenges Ahead

First, playing with a numerical advantage at home, Aarhus managed to overcome a resilient Nordsjaelland 1-0 in the 89th minute during the last Superliga round. Subsequently, they also advanced in the Danish Cup, defeating Sønderjyske 2-1 at home. Once again, a late numerical advantage, spearheaded by Mortensen, allowed them to squeeze past a modest opponent. However, in Herning, the league leaders will face intense pressure. For Aarhus, Jacob Andersen, Tobias Moelgaard, and Frederik Tingager will be unavailable for this match.

Away Form Concerns

In their last away match against Brøndby, the league leaders conceded three goals in a 3-3 draw. Therefore, their visit to Herning might not be any easier, especially considering their recent poor record there, as will be discussed further below.
