Superliga preview: Can København edge out victory against Midtjylland?

Both participants have had adequate rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an in-your-face game!

København form and stats

København have performed here at Parken this season with 6 wins from 11 Superliga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 1. København has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Brøndby defeat 168 days ago.

The København goalkeeper Kamil Grabara is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 614 minutes without conceding a goal in the Superliga.

A strong away win for København against AaB the last match, as Claesson were on target. Jensen (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.43/10. Jensen hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 53 successful passes (of 64 total).

Before that, København had a home game versus Nordsjælland which ended with a victory 1-0.

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 ten games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost four.

The manager Thorup will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Silkeborg in only four days.

A decent goal production from København in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 11 league matches. København are not conceding a lot of goals here at Parken in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 11 matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Midtjylland form and stats

6-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Midtjylland in their Superliga matches away.

Midtjylland are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the match against Silkeborg. Midfielder Evander was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.12. Evander scored one goal and hit two key passes.

A loss against København was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Midtjylland have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were two victories, two draws and two defeats.

Midtjylland have another fixture that requires travelling in just three nights, a Superliga game against Randers. A grim timetable for the visiting team!

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Midtjylland have scored 15 goals in 11 league games away.
