Copenhagen host Sonderjyske in the Danish Superliga, a clash that pits a high‑scoring side against a side that has struggled to convert chances in recent weeks.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
FC Copenhagen to win Won Strong lean Strong · High win probability

The model’s 77.1% win probability, driven by Copenhagen’s superior expected goals and Sonderjyske’s poor recent form, makes a Copenhagen victory the clear choice.

Show the maths
Copenhagen’s expected 3.0 goals versus Sonderjyske’s 1.0 creates a two‑goal xG gap, which the model converts into a 77.1% win chance for Copenhagen. The draw probability sits at 13.1% and Sonderjyske win at 9.4%, reinforcing the dominance of the home side. This gap, combined with Copenhagen’s recent 3‑2 and 4‑0 wins, pushes the model’s confidence well above the 70% threshold for a straight win.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 59.8% model probability

With FC Copenhagen averaging 3.0 expected goals and Sonderjyske averaging 1.0, the model gives a 59.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 40.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (FC Copenhagen 3.0, Sonderjyske 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 59.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 40.2% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 75.8% model probability

Combined expected goals of 4.0 (FC Copenhagen 3.0 + Sonderjyske 1.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 75.8% chance against 24.2% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (FC Copenhagen 3.0 + Sonderjyske 1.0 = 4.0 combined): 75.8% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 24.2% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has FC Copenhagen at 77.1%, the draw at 13.1%, and Sonderjyske at 9.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-0 at 8.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

FC Copenhagen

WWWL

Copenhagen have won three of their last four league games, highlighted by a 3‑2 home win over Lyngby and a 4‑0 away thrashing of Randers FC. Even their lone loss, a 0‑4 defeat at Viborg, came against a strong opponent, indicating that their attacking threat remains potent and supports a win prediction.

Sonderjyske

LLDLL

Sonderjyske have recorded four losses and one draw in their last five matches, including a 2‑3 loss to FC Midtjylland and a 0‑3 defeat at home to FC Nordsjaelland. Their inability to score beyond two goals in any recent game points to limited offensive firepower, bolstering the case for a Copenhagen win.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, Copenhagen have won three (2‑1, 2‑1, 2‑0) and drawn once (1‑1), with only one recent defeat (0‑2) for Sonderjyske, a pattern that favours a Copenhagen victory.
