FC Midtjylland’s women travel to Capelli Sport Stadion on Sunday to face HB Køge, the current A-Liga leaders. It is the return meeting after Midtjylland hosted the same opponent in their first home match of the season. Kickoff is at 3:00 p.m.
Midtjylland comes into the game after a 2-2 draw with FC Nordsjælland last Saturday at MCH Arena. Head coach Steen Gravgaard said the team made slight tactical adjustments for that match and was satisfied with how the players carried out the plan, noting several strong individual performances.
Match Preview: Midtjylland vs. HB Køge
HB Køge played away to Glasgow City in the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup on Wednesday and went out after conceding twice in stoppage time. That schedule makes it harder for Midtjylland to predict Køge’s lineup, but the staff expects quality across the field regardless of the selection.
Midtjylland aims to bring the same high intensity that worked well in the previous round. The plan is to apply an aggressive first press, limit Køge’s time on the ball, and be efficient in the final third, with the expectation that clear chances may be limited.
The match starts at 3:00 p.m. at Capelli Sport Stadion in Køge and will be shown on TV 2 Play. Fans can anticipate an exciting contest as two of the top teams in the A-Liga battle for crucial points in the league standings.
With both teams hungry for a victory, this encounter promises to be a thrilling display of skill and strategy. Midtjylland’s ability to execute their game plan will be key to overcoming the challenges posed by HB Køge, who will look to leverage their home advantage and recent experience in European competition.
