The Midtjylland & København head coaches Henriksen and Thorup are both worrying about and feeling excited about this very important match in the upper regions of the Superliga table.

Insights:
  • Midtjylland is in the best form (5-0-1) in Superliga
  • København have the most scored goals (43) in Superliga

Midtjylland have less rest than København in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Landspokal Cup game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Vejle, so at least Midtjylland are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Midtjylland form and stats

Midtjylland have collected 21 points from their Superliga home games so far after 7-0-4. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at MCH Arena.

Midtjylland are returning here after guesting Vejle in a Landspokal Cup game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline.

In the game before, an away victory in the Superliga match versus Brøndby with a 3-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Midtjylland perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Midtjylland as a small favourite), we find five games. Midtjylland has won three of these, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Midtjylland, as the Landspokal Cup home game vs Vejle is only three days away.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Midtjylland at home in the league. 22 on target and 11 scored by the opposition; from 11 matches.

København form and stats

København's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed København collect 26 points from their 11 away matches in the Superliga. 8 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

København have lots to to set right after their out-of-character loss (0-1) to Randers in their previous game, played in front of their own supporters. Diks was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.35. The defender Diks hit one key pass and won 4 of 7 duels.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Brøndby.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, København are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on København as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these teams meet on the pitch this season, as the records show this recent game: København - Midtjylland 1-0. Last ten meetings between these teams: Midtjylland won five, København were winners in three and we saw two draws. five games with more than 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
