ℹ️ Team News: FC Copenhagen

Luther Singh (Infection) and Victor Kristiansen (Unknown Injury) will be missing for FC Copenhagen manager Jess Thorup.

In our view, FCK could use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Kamil Grabara, Peter Ankersen, Denis Vavro, Nicolai Boilesen, E. Jelert Kristensen, Rasmus Falk, Lukas Lerager, I. B. Johannesson, Pep Biel, Viktor Claesson and H. Arnar Haraldsson.

🗞️ Team News: Silkeborg IF

Silkeborg IF manager Kent Nielsen has multiple availability issues to deal with. Gustav Dahl (Concussion), Milan Massop (Unknown Injury) and André Calisir (Groin Strain) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that De røde could decide to begin the game with a 4-3-2-1 lineup, choosing Nicolai Larsen, Rasmus Carstensen, Tobias Salquist, Joel Felix, Lukas Engel, Anders Klynge, Mark Brink, Robert Gojani, Sebastian Joergensen, Nicolai Vallys and Nicklas Helenius.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that FC Copenhagen have it within them to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

In contrast, Silkeborg IF may well struggle to make a breakthrough - but, we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet here.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 3-1 winning score for FC Copenhagen at the conclusion of the game.
