Venue: Parken (38065 seats)

København perform at a high level so far being 2nd in the table. AaB can look both up and down from their 6th position.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was an away game at Celtic, so at least København are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

AaB are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

København form and stats

9-1-0 is the performance here at Parken so far in the Superliga, giving København a total of 28 from their 10 games here. Outstanding results! After failing to beat Midtjylland here at Parken, København has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.

København are returning here after visiting Celtic in a Europa League game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Michael Santos, Pep Biel and Dame N'Doye scored the goal(s). Sensational by København last match, beating Celtic away as big underdogs. Before that, København played out a Superliga draw 1-1 when visiting Silkeborg.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how København have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost one.

København are traveling soon after this match as the Landspokal Cup match at AaB awaits in three days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (23 in 10 games), København's attacking play is working. From these home matches, København have conceded only 8 goals.

AaB form and stats

4 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of AaB playing as the away team in the Superliga this season.

Impressive finishing from Lucas Andersen and Tom Van Weert (2) secured the home win 3-2 against Brøndby in their previous game. Prior to that result AaB won their away game at Silkeborg. The scoreline was 2-0.

AaB are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, two draws and four defeats. From a total of six matches.

After this away game AaB return home for a Landspokal Cup game against København. That game is only three sleeps after this.

The travelling fans enjoy AaB's attacking play in away games, having scored 17 goals in 11 league matches away. 14 goals have been conceded by AaB in these games.
