This week's What's Worth Watching, features four Scandinavian matches!

IFK Göteborg - Helsingborg

Swedish Allsvenskan Round 14

Nya Ullevi

09-07-2012 at 18.05 BST

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

IFK Göteborg: 1 victory / 11 goals

       Draws: 4

 Helsingborg: 5 victory /15 goals

IFK Göteborg is still struggling in the lower part of the league, while Helsingborg still has the chance for qualifying for European football next season. Helsingborg is unbeaten in the last five matches, and with their top scorer, Alfred Finnbogason, upfront they will also win this one. Keep an eye on the young striker from Iceland, as he has the abilities to be decisive in this match.

Odd Grenland - Vålerenga

Norway Tippeligaen Round 12

Odd Stadion

11-07-2012 at 18.00 BST

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

Odd Grenland: 3 victories / 15 goals

       Draws: 3

   Vålerenga: 4 victories / 19 goals

Odd Grenland and Vålerenga are known for their tight matches. Vålerenga is currently positioned in the middle of the league with some distance to the ‘funny’ positions. Lower in the table is Odd Grenland, and they are still close to relegation and will, therefore, fight for every point. Keep an eye on Fredrik Stoor. The back from Norway has played for Fulham and Derby and is with his routine one of the most important players for Vålerenga.

Aarhus GF - Aalborg BK

Danish Superliga Round 1

NRGi Park

13-07-2012 at 17.30 BST

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

 Aarhus GF: 2 victories / 9 goals

     Draws: 3

Aalborg BK: 5 victories / 14 goals

Friday is the day for the first Derby of Jutland between Aarhus and Aalborg. Aalborg is in serious financial problems and has only brought one new face into the squad, while Aarhus has gathered a strong squad within the last couple of seasons. The Jutland Derby is always worth watching, and can display some great football. Keep an eye on Aarhus’ Casper Sloth. The young midfielder is going to be one of the best in the Danish Superliga!

FC Copenhagen - FC Midtjylland

Danish Superliga Round 1

Parken

15-07-2012 at 18.00 BST

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

 FC Copenhagen: 6 victories / 20 goals

         Draws: 1

FC Midtjylland: 3 victories / 10 goals

The two teams have often played some tight matches, and thi sone could turn out the same way. Copenhagen has hired the former Anderlecht coach Ariël Jacobs, and it is going to be interesting if he will make a difference. Midtjylland is in a time of transformation and has sold some of the profiles. The first match will show if there is any difference. Keep an eye on the Copenhagen striker, Dame N’Doye. He is a target for clubs as Newcastle United.

What's worth watching this week? 

Week 16

Aarhus GF - Aalborg BK

Danish Superliga Round 26

NRGi Park

16-04-2012 at 18.00 UTC/GMT + 1

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

 Aarhus GF: 3 victories / 10 goals

     Draws: 2

Aalborg BK: 5 sejre / 14 goals

The classic derby between two of Denmark’s oldest clubs. Aarhus GF and Aalborg BK have been rivals as  long as one can remember, and fans of AaB are defiantly not happy with AGF above them in the league. After Aalborg BK’s 3-1 victory against Silkeborg last week, positions them as number seven. Only one point away from AGF ranked as 5th. Both clubs can bring themselves closer to the position as 4th which opens for the Europa League Qualifications. A tremendous achievement for the two clubs as Aarhus GF was promoted from the 1. Division this season and Aalborg BK cleared from relegation is the last minute of last season. This could be a goal show, with AaB striker Nicklas Helenius and AGF striker Peter Graulund in top form. Worth watching!

Bayern Munich - Real Madrid

Champions League Semi Finals First Leg

Allianz Arena

17-04-2012 at 19.45 UTC/GMT + 1

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

Bayern Munich: 5 victories / 12 goals

        Draws: 2

  Real Madrid: 3 victories / 11 goals

Last time these two teams met in Champions League 1/8 finals was in 2007. Back then Bayern Munich went on to the quarter finals after a 3-2 loss and a 2-1 win. Tuesday night, the Germans can do it again. However, Real Madrid is in great form and has scored seventeen goals within the last five matches, and the question is if Munich can hold Ronaldo away from the goal. I am really looking forward to this one and  believe that this could be one of the best matches this year. Take a look!

Chelsea FC - Barcelona

Champions League Semi Finals First Leg

Stamford Bridge

18-04-2012 at 19.45 UTC/GMT + 1

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

Chelsea FC: 3 victories / 15 goals

     Draws: 4

 Barcelona: 3 victories / 16 goals

Arsenal - Chelsea FC

Premier League Round 35

Emirates Stadium

21-04-2012 at 12.45 UTC/GMT + 1

Head-to-head (last 10 matches):

   Arsenal: 4 victories / 14 goals

     Draws: 0 draws

Chelsea FC: 6 victories / 20 goals

Chelsea twice in a week may be a bit too much, but the London derby is not to be missed. Once again Chelsea seems to be underdogs, but they can surprise against Arsenal. The two London teams have not played a draw in ten matches, and we can expect goals and intense battles on the midfield of Emirates Stadium. The most interesting in this match is if Robin Van Persie can keep up his goal form when it really matters. Defiantly worth watching!
