FC Vestsjælland-FC Midtjylland preview

Thursday 21/5 18.00

FC Vestsjælland (11th) kept their hopes alive with a late and deserved win in Hobro. It was very impressive given the tight schedule; FC Vestsjælland had lost a 120 minute cup final just three days prior. FC Vestsjælland made some changes for the match, but a lot of players must be a bit tired with the outlook of a match again here. Three regulars, who also missed the last match, are doubtful here: central midfielder Henrik Madsen, winger Osama Akharraz and left back Michael Lumb. FC Vestsjælland have decent depth, but these players would surely add an improvement to the overall quality. FC Vestsjælland have been playing some nice football recently. They work hard and are solid in all areas. The have been able to get some good results lately by being more committed than their opponents. FC Midtjylland (1st) look certain to win the title. Points here could give them the title (although a loss of points of FC Copenhagen the day before would be enough). FC Midtjylland have deserved the title, and the high level was very visible in the last match, where some of the key players returned from injury. One of them, winger Pione Sisto, looks to add a new dimension with his great dribbling skills and nice finish. The return of Sisto gives a positive problem, since other brilliant winger Sylvester Igboun returns from a ban. FC Midtjylland suddenly have some positive squad problems after a period, where they have just fielded who was ready. There are possible still some defensive issues with central defender Jim Larsen and right back Kristian Bach Bak both doubtful, but in total FC Midtjylland should be able to field a very strong team here.

FC Vestsjælland should be inferior to FC Midtjylland here. The only hope is that the bigger motivation can decide the game in their favour. The most interesting bet is probably a bet on goals. FC Midtjylland have a very strong attack and it is no coincidence that they have played 10 out of 14 away matches have ended with more than 2.5 goals. Should FC Midtjylland get the lead, it would also push FC Vestsjælland forward, since they need a win.

Idea: Over 2.5 goals – 2.05 at Ladbrokes
