Seeking to maintain their perfect start to the season, FC Copenhagen travel to FC Fredericia in the Danish Superliga on Friday evening.
Copenhagen got their title defence up and running with a thrilling 3-2 victory away at Viborg on the opening weekend of the season.
Jacob Neestrup’s side have since made it two wins from two with a professional 2-0 win over Vejle last Saturday.
The Lions have also come through their first Champions League qualifier, defeating Drita 3-0 on aggregate.
As for Fredericia, they have made a mixed start to their Danish Superliga campaign after securing promotion to the top-flight at the end of last season.
Michael Hansen's men fell to a 3-2 defeat in their season opener with Nordsjaelland before bouncing back with a mightily impressive 2-0 win away at Silkeborg last time out.
How the bookies view it: Lions set to feast
Copenhagen are expected to make it three wins from three in the Danish Superliga on Friday evening, with an away success as short as 2/5 on Boylesports. However, backing the visitors to win alongside both teams to score will boost the odds to an eye-catching 17/10 with the same firm.
Fredericia are unfancied 5/1 underdogs with Boylesports while a point apiece at Monjasa Park has been priced up at 15/4.
Head to head: Lions rule the roost
The two teams have previously crossed paths in competitive action on three occasions, with Copenhagen coming out on top each time. Moreover, both teams scored in two of those three Copenhagen victories, and that only adds to the appeal of supporting the same formula on Friday night at 17/10 (Boylesports).
Players to watch: More joy for Jordan?
Jordan Larsson scored his first goal of the season during FC Copenhagen’s aforementioned 2-0 win over Vejle last weekend. The 28-year-old looks overpriced to either score or assist on Friday night at 4/5 with Bet 365.
Gustav Marcussen has made the net bulge in each of Fredericia's opening two league games of the season. Thus, the Danish forward represents a tempting anytime goalscorer option here at 10/3 on Bet 365.
Predicted line-ups
Following last week’s 2-0 success away at Sikeborg, Fredericia boss Hansen could name an unchanged starting XI on Friday night.
As was the case in midweek, Copenhagen will once again be without the injured trio of Junnosuke Suzuki, Oliver Hojer and Runar Alex Runarsson.
Fredericia: Ejeheri; Dahl, Rieper, Kudsk, Crone; Opondo, Jessen, Winther, Madsen, Simonsen; Marcussen
FC Copenhagen: Kotarski; Huescas, Pereira, Garananga, Lopez; Larsson, Lerager, Mattsson, Achouri; Elyounoussi, Moukoko
Anything else catch the eye?
Fredericia look well worthy of support to earn four or more corners on Friday night at 49/50 with UniBet.
Hansen’s hosts hit five corners in their one and only previous home game of the season so far against Nordsjaelland.
As for Copenhagen, they have conceded six and eight corners across their opening two Danish Superliga assignments of the season.
