Hvidovre vs FC Copenhagen Prediction, Bet Tips & Match Preview

Hvidovre vs FC Copenhagen
Danish Superligaen
Date: 18 August 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
Venue: Pro Ventilation Arena (Hvidovre).

FC Copenhagen maintained their prefect record at the start of the new Superligaen campaign thanks to a 90th-minute winner from Mohamed Achouri last Friday against Odense.

The reigning champions (won the title on goal difference last year) will have a nice opportunity to prolong the winning streak on Friday afternoon as they visit Pro Ventilation Arena for the Matchday No 5 affair against newly-promoted Hvidovre.

Hvidovre earned a runners-up finish in the previous tern of Danish 1. Division to return to the elite class for the first time since 1997.

Nevertheless, the hosts will have a mountain to climb in an attempt to prevent an immediate drop to the second tier next year, at least judging by the poor start to the new campaign.

Per Frandsen’s men collected only two points from the inaugural four games of the season, failing to find the back of the net in three of these four affairs in the process.

On a positive note, they did offer a great resistance in a goalless draw away at Viborg last time out. Also, it is worth noting that this match comes just three days after FC Copenhagen’s super-important clash against Sparta Prague in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round.

Hvidovre vs FC Copenhagen Head-to-head

• FC Copenhagen have been the dominant force in the short history of this matchup, winning six and drawing two of eight meetings with Hvidovre.
• The two outfits last met each other in January this year as FC Copenhagen claimed a commanding 4-1 victory in a preseason friendly.
• Interestingly, we have seen goals scored at both ends in each of the last five head to head matches between the two sides.

Hvidovre vs FC Copenhagen Prediction

We can expect Jacob Neestrup to rotate his starting XI heavily for this tie after a very difficult match in Czech Republic on Tuesday. Nonetheless, FC Copenhagen should still have too much for their counterparts due to a massive difference in quality.

We will take FC Copenhagen to win & Over 2.5 goals FT pick as the main option at the 2.10 odds while you can alternatively back the visitors to have the lead at the half time and win the match at the end at the same 2.10 odds.

• FC Copenhagen to win & Over 2.5 goals FT @ 2.10 (11/10)

• HT/FT FC Copenhagen/FC Copenhagen @ 2.10 (11/10) odd.
