FC Copenhagen-FC Nordsjælland

Saturday 26/7 19.30

FC Copenhagen (6th) are trying to bring together a bunch of new players. The players are strong, so the potential should be remarkable. But as seen in the last match against Silkeborg (0-0), playing with seven new players for the majority of the match is not easy. FC Copenhagen clearly lacked some familiarity and until they have that they could face some problems. Some of their players have some individual capabilities that mean that even on a bad day they could win. Central midfielder Franco Mussis returns from injury and will possible get his debut in this match. Winger Gislason is injured, but FC Copenhagen have a strong back-up in Kadrii. FC Nordsjælland (2nd) made a remarkable comeback against FC Vestsjælland. They were down 0-2 but ended up winning 3-2. The short striker Uffe Bech was outstanding and scored twice. Otherwise it was evident that FC Nordsjælland are also trying to find their style after having changed coach during the summer break. They are still bothered by some injuries for important offensive players like Søren Christensen (doubtful), Lasse Petry and Joshua John (doubtful). Currently their main threat is Bech and if FC Copenhagen manage to close him down, FC Nordsjælland will be severely limited offensively.

Until FC Copenhagen start to show that they are a united team, we will not recommend betting on them. FC Nordsjælland are not extraordinary especially when playing away, so the opposite outcome is not interesting either. Therefore, if we were to bet, we would go with the Under 2.5 goals, since FC Nordsjælland’s offense is limited and FC Copenhagen’s baby problems mainly hurts the offensive production.
