Aarhus the favorites
The betting market sees the Danish side as clear favorites: an Aarhus win pays 1.55, a draw 4.33 and an Egnatia win 5.50. Panorama Sport notes that these figures reflect only a preliminary assessment and that Egnatia will need to be careful in defense and clinical with the chances they create.
Egnatia, who have won the last three Albanian league titles, made their debut this season in the league phase of Europe's third-tier competition. A positive result in Denmark would bring them closer to their goal of advancing to the knockout stages.
