FC Nordsjælland-SønderjyskE

Saturday 18/10 17.00

FC Nordsjælland (2nd) were lucky to get one point in Randers (0-0) in the last round. Now they return to the home field were they are typically much stronger. FC Nordsjælland have a strong offensive trio of Uffe Bech (just got his first cap last weekend), Joshua John and Kasper Lorentzen. They are difficult to handle, especially in Farum. The team consists of mostly small, albeit technically strong players. This could give problems against SønderjyskE’s physical players. SønderjyskE (9th) have registered five 1-1 matches in a row! So despite of having only lost two out of ten matches, they are part of the relegation battle. They have not been cynical in front of the target. They have a strong offense that create many chances, and it will only be a matter of time before it starts scoring more than one goal per match. We especially expect more from Marvin Pourie who made some great things in the last match against FC Vestsjælland, but just failed to put it in. Neither of the teams have important injuries or suspensions.

The artificial pitch in Farum always gives some extra percentages for a home win, but despite of this we believe that SønderjyskE will be difficult to beat. The team is too strong to be in this relegation battle. For us the two interesting bets here are SønderjyskE not to lose, and more than 2.5 goals. The latter is due to the strong offenses of both teams, which should give us an intriguing match.

UPDATE: Captain and left back Patrick Mtiliga is doubtful for FC Nordsjælland. Right winger Nicolaj Madsen is out for SønderjyskE. Mtiliga is the most important absence here.
