Copenhagen preview: Can they keep the streak alive?
With five wins in a row, three of which were in competitive matches, Copenhagen have entered the new season in strong form after finishing last one in third place in Superliga. That being said, Copenhagen haven't really had a tough schedule so far, so it remains to be seen how long can they keep this streak going and if they can perform at the same level against tougher opposition.
Meanwhile, Theo Sander, Diogo Goncalves, Elias Achouri, Roony Bardghji, Andreas Cornelius, William Clem, and Nicolai Boilesen are all out with injuries for Copenhagen.
Predicted lineup: Trott (GK), Huecas, Diks, Garananga, Meling, Claesson, Falk, Mattson, Larsson, Oskarsson & Elyounoussi

Randers preview: Having a great start of the season
While Randers have met with a couple of relatively weaker opponents in Viborg and Vejle, starting the season with a couple of wins is certainly a respectable feat. In any case, Randers have been solid last season too and this start might mean that they're ready to take the next step and do even better this time around.
When it comes to team news, Randers are currently without injured Florian Danho.
Predicted lineup: Izzo (GK), Olsen, Hoegh, Dammers, Kopplin, Campbell, Bjorkengren, Enggaard, Nordli, Odey & Bany

Player to watch: Mohamed Elyounoussi
The experienced winger had a good last season in Copenhagen and he already hit the ground running this season with a goal and assist in the first two games of Superliga.
Will Elyounoussi score in the first half?
Counting both Superliga and Europe, Elyounoussi has scored two goals and both of them came in the first half. In fact, both goals were scored in the same minute (30th).
