FC Copenhagen-SønderjyskE

Sunday 6/4 17.00

After missing out on the title race last weekend due to a disappointing loss in Aalborg, reigning champions FC Copenhagen (3rd) are set to bounce back. Unfortunately bad news came out early this week. Midfielder Youssef Toutouh is out for the remainder of the season due to a broken ankle. Another setback for FC Copenhagen in what has been a difficult spring. They have yet to score more than one goal in a match and this is the main reason that they are out of the title race. A combination of poor finishing and the absence of strong playmakers is our conclusion. To make things worse winger and offensive ace Nicolai Jørgensen is out indefinitely. SønderjyskE (12th) are still holding on with their fingertips. Everybody had them as favourites for relegation but after some impressive matches like the previous two (win against Aalborg and unlucky draw vs. OB (conceded equaliser in 93rd minute)) it is still hard to say who will draw the shortest straw. Offensively SønderjyskE have improved a lot with the additions of Rubin Okotie and Tommy Bechmann (from injury). Injury wise wingers Johan Absalonsen and Silas Songani are on a day-to-day basis and especially the former is crucial for SønderjyskE’s chances in this match.

With Toutouh and Jørgensen out it is difficult to point out whom to create chances for FC Copenhagen. A demolition of SønderjyskE seems out of the question. During the last few weeks SønderjyskE have showed us that they are not out yet, but based on play and chances they have actually been lucky. They will probably have a hard time creating chances in this match. Our conclusion is a low-scoring affair and odds on fewer than 2.5 goals are attractive.
