København vs Midtjylland: Match guide and preview

It's no vacation for neither København nor Midtjylland as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

København form and stats

This stadium, Telia Parken, has been a fortress for København so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 11-1-1. København has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Bordeaux defeat. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for København, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

A good away victory last time out for København, who won 2-1 against Brøndby. In the game before, an away victory match versus OB with a 1-0 scoreline.

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 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.

There will be little rest for København after this match as they are travelling to Nordsjælland for a Superliga game in only four days.

Midtjylland form and stats

Playing away, Midtjylland have won 7 games, drawn 4 and suffered 2 defeats so far this season. In general it has been a productive period now for Midtjylland as they haven't lost any of their last 14 games. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the København game have they lost an away game, meaning Midtjylland has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

Midtjylland are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Superliga against OB. Preceding that game, the 2-2 draw paying a visit to Esbjerg.

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 44 relevant matches. Results were 26 Midtjylland wins, 9 draws and 9 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Midtjylland are hosting Brøndby in the Superliga only four days away.
