Football Bet of the Day: Wolves to draw blood in Copenhagen

FC Copenhagen v FC Midtjylland
Sunday 17:00

Benevento sneaked past Alessandro Nesta's Perugia with a 2-1 win in Italy yesterday. That scoreline also sneaked us over the goals line and puts us on the cusp of a very good week.

We're hoping to crown a successful shift in Denmark, where all eyes are on this afternoon's top-of-the-table clash in the Superliga. FC Copenhagen and FC Midtjylland have shared the last four Danish titles and are locked together this season, 10 points clear of everyone else. Their recent meetings have been full of entertainment and we're hopeful this one will give us another Over 2.5 Goals winner.

Both teams have scored in 9/10 head-to-heads, with the same fraction going Over 2.5 Goals. For odds-against punters, all of those nine games even reached Over 3.5 Goals. At Copenhagen's Telia Parken, 7/8 meetings have delivered Over 2.5 Goals (with 5/8 going Over 3.5 Goals).

This term, Stale Solbakken's Copenhagen have been particularly prolific on home turf. They've scored 20 times in winning each of their last six Superliga matches there. At the other end, they've managed just a couple of clean sheets in that run. Going back to early last season, 18/22 such games have produced Over 2.5 Goals (14/22 +3.5).

Midtjylland are the reigning champions. Home and away, 13/16 of their league games have got to Over 2.5 Goals this term (9/16 +3.5). On the road, the Wolves have seen both teams score in 6/7, with 5/7 going Over 2.5 Goals (4/7 +3.5). They've scored at least twice themselves in four of the most recent six. With both teams relying on potent attack rather than steadfast defence, we fancy their latest clash will deliver on the hype once more.
