Brøndby-FC Copenhagen preview

Sunday 27/9 13.30

Brøndby (8th) have had their ups and downs this season. Last weekend was surely one of the low points as Brøndby were took a 4-1 beating in Aalborg. Brøndby are difficult to assess as they sometimes play great football, while other days they are abysmal. Brøndby have some decent players, but if anything they lack an excellent player that can decide matches by himself. On the positive side is the good squad situation. Brøndby are without important injuries, and even influential midfielder Thomas Kahlenberg returns after a long injury period. FC Copenhagen (1st) are experiencing a good period after a poor start to the season. They have won the last three games (all home games though) in fine fashion. They probably still need something in the offensive build up, where they could be better at creating chances. Defensively, they are very solid and have a good organisation with some defensive minded central midfielders. FC Copenhagen also have a good injury status.

Brøndby were priced around 2.60-2.70 when markets closed for their last home match against FC Midtjylland who is close to the level of FC Copenhagen (perhaps just a bit lower). Now Brøndby are priced at more than odds 3.30. Nevertheless, I have the feeling that FC Copenhagen will probably prove superior to Brøndby here. They should have the physique to dominate the match, and I think Brøndby will have problems scoring. I go for FC Copenhagen here, but value is sparse.
