FC Midtjylland-FC Nordsjælland

Monday 16/9 19.00

FC Midtjylland (1st) are the talk of the town. They are still undefeated and clearly in the Superliga lead. The question is whether they can keep it up. Especially when injuries arrive and their depth gets challenged. In that sense the match on Monday is a good test. FC Midtjylland will be without their vital ball-winner Izunna, who is suspended. Furthermore important midfielders like Andersson and Hassan are still injured. The worst situation is however if their key striker Morten “Duncan” Rasmussen (six goals this season) is deemed unfit to play. Duncan has not been training since their last match more than a week ago because of a sore foot. He is expected to play, but it is not a sure thing. His absence could be crucial since alternatives are either injured (Janssen) or useless (Curth). FC Nordsjælland (11th) have been enjoying the break for international matches. It has given them the opportunity to integrate their new players and get old players back from injuries. We expect Stryger Larsen and Søren Christensen to be back. Furthermore the signing of winger Joshua John, who was on loan from Twente last season, is a nice move. John was an eternal cause of trouble and Nordsjælland have evidently lacked his ability to do the unexpected.

When the two teams met in March the odds for FC Nordsjælland was around 2.5-2.6. In other words they were slight favourites. Since then Midtjylland have improved their form and Nordsjælland have lost a few players. Today the odds for Nordsjælland are around 4. It is a huge difference! In our opinion also too big, but we do not make a recommendation since there are too many unknown factors. Is Duncan playing and how many players return for Nordsjælland? Look for updates from this site!
