Copenhagen

Copenhagen is once again a formidable force by the standards of Danish football! The Blue and Whites had a bad stretch recently when they went a couple of years without a title, but then they triumphed twice in a row in the local championship. They are now 15-time national champions, and at the end of last season, they also won the Danish Cup, which was their ninth. After such a successful year, they are preparing for the start of the new championship and the Champions League, where they have not shown themselves for a long time. In the first control summer game, Copenhagen beat Silkeborg - 2:1.

Schalke 04

From 1991 to 2021, the Blue-Whites played exclusively in the elite German division, but then they still fell out, but only for a year, after which they returned to the strongest league in the country. Another thing is that from the very first rounds, they had huge problems with results. It seemed that they could not save themselves, but at the end of January, they started a successful 8-match unbeaten streak, which allowed them to get out of the relegation zone. However, they still failed at the end of the championship and therefore received a deserved relegation. In the summer, they had already beaten Spelle-Venhaus 3:0 and drew with Olympia Bocholt 2:2.

Expert Betting Tips

Copenhagen and Schalke continue to prepare for the new season, but the last championship turned out for them very differently. The representatives of the Danish capital became the champions of the country. Still, they finished in the German Bundesliga only in the penultimate place, because of which they will now play only in the second-strongest division. In the upcoming clash, the Vikings are the favorites, as they are on a good run and have won five of their last six games, while their opponents are still going through a game crisis.

We can expect a high goal-scoring activity from the upcoming clash, as both teams have accustomed us to bright and effective football. In the last eight meetings with Copenhagen, there were 33 shots (4.13 average per game), while the Vikings have scored 21 goals (2.63 average per game). Schalke scored 42 goals in their previous nine matches (4.67 average per game), even more than the Danes.
