Perhaps a welcome break from league football as København & Midtjylland face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Landspokal Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
København form and stats
København was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Landspokal Cup.3-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for København so far this season.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 197 minutes.
Happy days for København in their previous game, a Superliga match away at Nordsjælland that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that, København had a Superliga home game versus Horsens which ended with a victory 2-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with København perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with København as a small favourite), we find four games. København has won one of these, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for København, as the Superliga home game vs OB is only three days away.
Goals decide football matches and København are scoring many of them at home; 12 on target from 6 league matches. København have conceded 10 from these games.
Midtjylland form and stats
Midtjylland's mission in Landspokal Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.The story so far for the visiting team on their Superliga travels is 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to OB in their previous outing. The Superliga match ended in a draw 1-1. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Liverpool.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Midtjylland playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Midtjylland win, one draw and one defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Nordsjælland in just four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Midtjylland's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 7 league matches away. Midtjylland have conceded 12 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for København, one draw and seven wins for Midtjylland. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
