FC Copenhagen and Nordsaelland battle for three points in a Danish Superliga matchday 17 clash on Monday at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.
The hosts will look to build on their 2-1 win at Dinamo Minsk in the UEFA Conference League in midweek. Mohamed Elyounoussi put Copenhagen ahead in the sixth minute before Nigerian forward Raymond Adeola equalised seven minutes later. Kevin Diks scored the winner from the spot for Copenhagen 10 minutes into the second half.
The Lions now shift their focus back to the domestic scene, where their last home game saw them claim a 2-1 home win over Lyngby.
Nordsaelland, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a narrow 1-0 home win over Aarhus last time out. Marcus Ingvartsen fluffed his lines to put them ahead from the spot in the 70th minute, but Milan Iloski stepped off the bench late on to score the winner in the second minute of injury time.
The victory saw Nordsaelland climb to sixth in the points table, having garnered 26 points from 16 games, while Copenhagen lead the way at the summit with 30 points.
