Copenhagen and OB Odense will battle for three points in a Danish Superliga matchday six clash on Saturday (August 23rd). The game will be played at Parken Stadion.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Basel in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff tie on Wednesday (August 23rd). They went behind to Xherdan Shaqiri's 14th-minute penalty while Gabriel Pereira equalized in first-half injury time ahead of the second leg next week.
The Lions will turn their focus to the domestic scene where their last game saw them claim a 3-1 away win over Nordsjaelland.
Odense, meanwhile, fell to a 5-1 thrashing at home to Aarhus. They were 2-1 down at the break, with Tobias Bech scoring a brace for the visitors while Jann-Fiete Arp pulled one back from the spot. Kristian Arnstad, Patrick Mortensen and Gift Links scored a goal each after the break to complete the rout.
