📰 Team News: FC Copenhagen

Davit Khocholava (Knee problems), Rasmus Falk (unknown injury), Magnus Mattsson (unknown injury), Khouma Babacar (unknown injury), Theo Sander (Knee surgery) and Nicolai Boilesen (Knee injury) won’t be available for FC Copenhagen gaffer Jacob Neestrup. Khouma Babacar is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We think that FCK could opt for a 4-3-3 formation for this one, handing starts to Kamil Grabara, Elias Jelert, Denis Vavro, Kevin Diks, Christian Soerensen, Mohamed Elyounoussi, William Clem, Lukas Lerager, Roony Bardghji, Viktor Claesson and Elias Achouri.

📋 Team News: Silkeborg IF

Thanks to a largely available squad, there is only the lone fitness problem for the Silkeborg IF boss Kent Nielsen to contend with. Alexander Busch (Groin injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that De røde will likely play in a 4-3-2-1 lineup, starting Nicolai Larsen, Oliver Sonne, Pontus Roedin, Joel Felix, Andreas Poulsen, Anders Klynge, Mark Brink, Pelle Mattsson, Callum McCowatt, Stefan Thordarson and Tonni Adamsen.

⚡ Prediction

Silkeborg IF will manage to find the back of the net against this FC Copenhagen lineup, however that is unlikely to be as many as they’ll concede.

We are anticipating both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for FC Copenhagen at the end of the match. Expecting it to be very competitive.
