Before this season, the home team took a new course and puglt in charge a new man on the sidelines. The 45-year-old Morten Karlsen could certainly have imagined his opening match to be easier than against his arch-rivals from the Danish capital. The fact that the 15-time Danish champions are clear favourites should not surprise anyone. Copenhagen travels to Lyngby Stadium and should be able to start the season with a win. The hosts are being given odds of just under 5.90. They are hoping that the third-placed team from last season will stumble on the first matchday, similar to previous years. Copenhagen have only won two of their last seven matches at the start of the season. However, the difference in quality between the two teams is too big. It wasn't just in attack that the two teams were in completely different planets. There was also a gigantic gap between Lyngby and Copenhagen defensively. Copenhagen has scored over three goals in 4 out of 5 recent clashes. |
