Copenhagen vs Aarhus

Copenhagen are looking to maintain their 100% start to the new Danish Superliga season as they host Aarhus on Friday.

The reigning champions have looked almost unstoppable this season and are yet to lose across all competitions so far. They also have a good record in this fixture and should get the better of the visitors, who are yet to earn a win this term.

Copenhagen News

It has been an impressive start to the title defence for Copenhagen, who have won all three of their matches so far. They picked up a 2-0 victory at Fredericia in their previous Superliga fixture.

Copenhagen's good form extends beyond the Superliga as they are unbeaten in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers and are currently in the third round. Jacob Neestrup's team held out for a 0-0 draw at Malmo in their first leg clash on Tuesday.

One key thing about Copenhagen is that they often make fast starts and have won the first half in three of their last four matches across all competitions. Three of their last four Superliga home matches - stretching back to last season - have produced over 2.5 goals.

Aarhus News

Aarhus come into this clash still seeking their first win of the season, having played out two draws and suffered one defeat from three matches. Jakob Poulsen's men were held to a 0-0 home draw by Midtjylland in their previous fixture.

The struggles this season are a holdover from last term, and Aarhus are now winless in their last 11 Superliga matches, suffering seven defeats on this run. They are also without a win in their last eight away matches in the league, losing six times on this run.

Aarhus may have kept a clean sheet in their previous fixture, but they generally struggle to maintain their discipline at the back. Seven of their last nine Superliga away matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Copenhagen have six wins and three draws from the last 12 matches against Aarhus, who have only picked up three victories. The hosts did the double last season, with both matches ending in 3-1 wins.

Verdict

FC Copenhagen v AGF Aarhus

There has been a stark contrast between both teams this season, with Copenhagen maintaining a 100% record in the league while Aarhus are without a win after three matches. The champions are expected to extend their fine record in this fixture, and having also won the first half in three of their last four matches, a repeat is expected here.

Eight of the last nine matches between Copenhagen and Aarhus have produced over 2.5 goals, which is expected to be the outcome on Friday.
