Essentially a win and European football is in the bag, given the goal difference two draws would do it as well....
Never knew Aarhus GF had such a reputation as cup fighter.

To be honest, I was actually a bit surprised about AGF's cup record too. It does help them being one of the older clubs though. With FC København and FC Midtjylland both formed in the 1990's - and FC Nordsjælland in 2003 - older clubs like AGF, Vejle, AaB etc have had more years to make their mark.
The artificial pitch hoodoo is over winning on both along the way. 3rd place was the ideal finish all round for development and story purposes. The worst part would be having rivals lift the trophy on your turf as well. Regardless with the itehr results even a win would've resulted in same outcome
So if AGF win the Cup, you need to play Viborg in a play-off;
If FCM win the Cup, you're going into Europe and AGF needs to play Viborg;
- correct?

Agreed. 3rd place was pretty much my preferred outcome here. And perhaps it took something from FC København's celebrations that - 1. They didn't win the game, and - 2. Brøndby also got the result they wanted.
The downside is, however, that I failed to win a single derby this season. Out of four attempts. Regardless of where I finish in the league, this will not fly.

I would have thought so, actually, but a Brøndby vs Viborg Playoff match was already scheduled before the cup final was played 🤷♂️
