FC Copenhagen-AaB

Sunday 20/10 19.00

Three potential outcomes of this match:

1. Copenhagen are in the hunt for a championship.

X. Satisfying for AaB. Copenhagen can forget about championship.

2. AaB are serious title challengers.

With that outlined we can go through the teams. FC Copenhagen (8th) took a relatively secure win against SønderjyskE in the last round (2-1). Concerning however that Copenhagen were unable to score more and get a clean sheet against an opponent that wanted nothing. Copenhagen are getting better though and things are more positive than at the start of the competition. Especially winger Rurik Gislason is a joy. He is really at the top of his game and proved this with an outstanding long-range goal in the last match. The minus is that the club is still searching for a real goal getter. New signings Fanendo Adi and Igor Vetokele are not convincing. FC Copenhagen will be without left back Pierre Bengtsson. Christoffer Remmer is a decent cover. AaB (2nd) are in great financial trouble, but this cannot be seen on the pitch. They have delivered some impressive performances, but also had their off-days. The point is that you never really know what you get. Based on the last match, you should expect fireworks, because that was what the AaB offense delivered (3-1 vs. Viborg). Midfielder Kasper Kusk and striker Rasmus Jönsson had an outstanding day. Unfortunately for AaB, Jönsson is doubtful, and alternative Søren Frederiksen is no Ronaldo (one goal in ten matches). Both clubs seem to have an advantage at the right wing (Kusk vs. Remmer and Gislason vs. Ahlmann) and we could expect to see Kusk and Gislason play main roles in this match.

AaB are notoriously poor in Parken (five last games without scoring). In a match where we find it hard to spot any value, we place our idea pretty much on the basis of this information. The teams seem fairly priced in our opinion. Copenhagen should be favourites with home support and some good match-up’s. But we acknowledge that AaB have a decent chance of winning.
