Midtjylland welcomes Kobenhavn in the 8`th finals of the DBU cup. The hosts play this after a strong monday match vs Brondby in which in the end they prevailed. They came from behind 2 times to win it 3:2 but how much has this taken out of their tank. Kobenhavn had a day more to rest and not such a strong opponent. Is still took a big effort against AGF to win it 4:2 and they scored the two goals in the last 10 minutes. So neither team is showing some great defensive game but on the scoring front it couldn`t be bettter.
The two have great history of overs in recent years and Midtjylland has some dominance over the visitors lately. The hosts won 5 of the last 6 mutual matches with plenty of goals to boot: 3:1, 0:2, 3:2, 3:1, 4:3, 3:2, 3:1, 1:3, 3:1, 5:3. So 9 of the last 10 went over 3.5 goals.
Interestingly they haven`t met in the cup since 2007 but that is because Midtjylland plays the cup pretty badly. It has been since 2011 they were in the finals.
FCK on the other hand takes the cup very serious and they actually won 3 of the last 4 finals.
With some more freshness for the away side and a big tradition in the cup to determine the winner today might be very difficult. I choose the goal option.
In FCM the attacker Onauchu has been on fire lately with 7 goals while also the defender Hende scored even 5 goals.
In FCK Ndoye already has 9 goals, Skov has 9 and Fischer 7 goals.
Both teams average about 3.4 goals per game in the league. Midtjylland has had at least 3 goals in all of their last 18 cup matches.
Simon Okosun and Artem Dovbyk are out for the hosts. Michael Lüftner is out for FCK.
I go with over 3 goals.
