FC Copenhagen

LWWLWL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against SønderjyskE in Superliga competition, FC Copenhagen and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, FC Copenhagen managed 63% possession and 20 shots at goal with 5 on target. At the other end, Sonderjyske had 9 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Lirim Qamili (43') and Kristall Máni Ingason (45') scored for SønderjyskE.

The numbers tell their own story, and FC Copenhagen have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 10 goals in total. Defensively, FC Copenhagen have been far from perfect. Despite that, we will just have to wait and see if that trend shall continue on here in this game or not.

📰 Team News: Villarreal

Willy Kambwala (Hamstring injury), Gerard Moreno (Muscle injury), Logan Costa (Cruciate ligament tear) and Pau Cabanes (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Villarreal boss Marcelino García Toral. Juan Foyth will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

In our view, El Submarino Amarillo may well use the 4-4-2 formation in the match with Luiz Junior, Santiago Mourino, Rafa Marin, Renato Veiga, Alfonso Pedraza, Nicolas Pepe, Santi Comesana, Pape Gueye, Alberto Moleiro, Tani Oluwaseyi and Georges Mikautadze.

📋 Team News: FC Copenhagen

FC Copenhagen boss Jacob Neestrup has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Oliver Højer (Fitness), Rodrigo Huescas (Knee injury) and Magnus Mattsson (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be making appearances. Liam West is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

From our viewpoint, FCK seem most likely to play in a 4-1-4-1 formation by sending out Dominik Kotarski, Junnosuke Suzuki, Gabriel Pereira, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, Marcos Lopez, William Clem, Jordan Larsson, Lukas Lerager, Viktor Claesson, Elias Achouri and Youssoufa Moukoko.

⚡ Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Villarreal will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

At the other end, FC Copenhagen will not find it easy finding the net themselves - but, we do see them pulling one back during this clash, too.

Our selection here is for a controlled 3-1 win for Villarreal at the end of the 90 minutes.
