📰 Team News: FC Copenhagen

Davit Khocholava (Knee problems), Andreas Cornelius (unknown injury), Theo Sander (Knee surgery), Nicolai Boilesen (Knee injury) and Roony Bardghji (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for FC Copenhagen boss Jacob Neestrup. Khouma Babacar will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It’s our opinion that FCK may well employ a 3-4-2-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Kamil Grabara, Denis Vavro, Kevin Diks, Scott McKenna, Peter Ankersen, Birger Meling, William Clem, Magnus Mattsson, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Elias Achouri and Orri Oskarsson.

📰 Team News: FC Midtjylland

FC Midtjylland manager Thomas Thomasberg has not got a full squad to pick from. Kristoffer Olsson (Head injury) and Marrony (Cruciate ligament injury) can’t be considered.

There’s a good chance that Ulvene seem likely to elect for a 4-4-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Jonas Loessl, Henrik Dalsgaard, Sverrir Ingi Ingason, Mads Bech, Paulinho, Dario Osorio, Oliver Soerensen, Emiliano Martinez, Charles, Gue-Sung Cho and Franculino.

🧠 Prediction

In this match, FC Copenhagen will probably dominate possession and create several successful chances.

At the same time, FC Midtjylland are also probably going to find it difficult to make a breakthrough although we do think it’s probable that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

We’re therefore anticipating a 3-1 winning score for FC Copenhagen after 90 minutes.
