FC Copenhagen-FC Midtjylland

Sunday 2/3 19.00

Even though AaB are placed somewhere in between this is regarded as a match between the two main candidates for the championship title. FC Copenhagen (3rd) are favourites for the match. They did not get the best start though with 1-1 at AGF. FC Copenhagen dominated the match but were largely inefficient in their shooting. Fortunately returned striker Cornelius had one efficient moment, which gave FC Copenhagen a goal, and probably gave Cornelius some confidence after a terrible experience in Cardiff in autumn. Cornelius physical presence will be a challenge for every team in the league, but against strong players like Sviatchenko and Banggaard his strength might not be as big an advantage as usual. Fortunately FC Copenhagen have a speedy alternative in Vetokele which will be difficult to handle for FC Midtjylland’s bit clumsy backline. FC Copenhagen looked solid at the back against AGF. Offensively they missed key midfielder Jørgensen who might be ready for this match though. FC Midtjylland (1st) started off poorly in Odense, but actually improved in the second half where they dominated the match. Nevertheless, OB scored on a brilliant shot from the distance at the very end to give FCM a heart-breaking loss (2-1). FC Midtjylland are suffering from the absence of several key players, especially midfieders: Larsen, Igboun, Hedinsson and Andersson. This is not good for their title chances. Fortunately striker Duncan looks as sharp as in the autumn and seems like the only threat for Dalgaard in the run for top scoring title.

FC Copenhagen are a strong home team and their squad looks better at the moment. We take the home win. Tipico is offering odds above the rest of the market. Grab it before it is gone!
