• Competition: Denmark - Landspokal Cup
• Date: Thursday, 18th, May 2023
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17.00 CEST
• Venue: Parken Stadium (Copenhagen)

This Thursday, the players of FC Copenhagen have an ideal opportunity to lift the Danish Cup trophy for the ninth time in their history and thus equal with Aarhus for the number of titles won from the same. The fact that goes in favor of the most popular club of this country is that the final of the 69th edition of the domestic cup is held at their "Parken Stadium".

The Lions, in one of the most exciting semi-finals in the history of the Danish Cup, managed to eliminate Nordsjaelland with an aggregate and thriller victory of 13 goals (7-6 / counting the results of both meetings). On the other hand, Aalborg secured the final of the national cup, as after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, they demolished Silkeborg at their stadium with a convincing 4-1 (5-2 aggregate).

Aalborg vs FC Copenhagen Betting Tips: Team2 to Win

Besides that FC Copenhagen will have huge support from the stands, tradition also announces their victory in this final. In the previous 10 meetings, The Lions recorded eight triumphs, five in a row, including two in the current season - at "Parken" it was 3-1 for the home squad, while in Aalborg they celebrated with a routine 3-1.

AaB, the four-time Superligaen champion, played by far the worst league part of a season in the last two decades in the elite championship of Denmark, finishing in last place. Fortunately, The Reds started to wake up and with a series of positive results they managed to get out of the danger zone, but still far from a safe harbor.

On the contrary, The Reds enter this final, their 13th in total, with a rather good mood, bearing in mind that they are more than a month without defeat (three wins and five draws). But objectively viewed, Aalborg's rivals like Lyngby, Horsens, Odense, Silkeborg cannot be measured with the quality that possesses FC Copenhagen.

Meanwhile, the club from the capital of Denmark is in an obvious result crisis in recent weeks, which is best witnessed by the performance of just two triumphs from the last six competitive challenges. Admittedly, The Lions made a good overture before the final of the domestic cup, as they beat Brondby 3-1 at the weekend.

What gives FC Copenhagen positive signs ahead of the final is the data that their record at "Parken Stadium" is almost perfect in the new calendar year (2023) - they have triumphed in seven out of a total of eight games played at home, while they shaken the rivals' nets an impressive 18 times from the previous six home challenges.

By the way, The Lions from the capital of Denmark are chasing a double crown this year. In the Superligaen, they hold everything in their hands, since they have a point more than the closest companion Nordsjaelland in the remaining three rounds of the season, while in mid-week they will do everything to decorate their showcases with another, ninth, trophy from the Danish Cup. Aalborg does not seem, at least this season, like a team that can make a sensation on Thursday, so anything but a FC Copenhagen win would be a surprise.
