FC Copenhagen-Brøndby

Sunday 4/5 19.00

The Copenhagen derby could decide which team that earns the bronze medal. It is a vital match for both teams and a full stadium is to be expected. FC Copenhagen (3rd) delivered another disappointing performance in Farum last weekend (0-1). There have been a lot of those this year. A good explanation is the absence of playmakers Nicolai Jørgesen and Youssef Toutouh. At the same time the FC Copenhagen strikers are playing without confidence. Central defender Kris Stadsgaard is doubtful and with Oluf Mellberg already absent, FC Copenhagen might have to use a central midfielder in the backline. Brøndby (4th) lack of set piece strength was evident against FC Vestsjælland. Despite domination by Brøndby they allowed two stupid set piece goals and the end result was a draw (2-2). Brøndby were without team top goalscorer Simon Makienok, but the towering striker returns from suspension to this match. The Brøndby midfield is looking strong at the moment with especially winger Andrew Hjulsager showing promising things. Furthermore the new signed striker Ariel Nuñuz are doing better for each match (goal in last match and a beautiful assist in the match before). Brøndby look like a team close to its best in several seasons.

For us this is almost a fifty/fifty game. Brøndby are playing better football than FC Copenhagen at the moment, but FC Copenhagen holds the home advantage. We believe that Brøndby are underrated for this match and they could easily get at least one point here.
