Aalborg BK and FC Copenhagen trade tackles in a Danish Superliga matchday 20 clash on Sunday at Aalborg Portland Park.
The hosts will look to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat to Nordsjaelland at the same venue in midweek. All three goals came in the second half, with Benjamin Nygren breaking the deadlock for Nordsjaelland in the 50th minute before missing a 76th-minute penalty. Zidan Sertdemir put Nordjaelland two goals up three minutes later before Aaron Seydel halved the deficit deep into injury time, but an equaliser wasn't to be.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 1-0 home win over Midtjylland in a top-of-the-table clash. Magnus Mattsson's 55th-minute penalty decided the contest.
The win saw the Lions retain their hold at the summit with 39 points from 19 games, while Aalborg are ninth with 17 points.

Aalborg BK vs FC Copenhagen Prediction
Aalborg are winless in the league since September and haven't claimed a win in this fixture since October 2020. They have home advantage in their favour but are the underdogs.
Copenhagen, for their part, opened up a three-point lead atop the summit with their victory last weekend. They will look to consolidate that by claiming maximum points. Their games have tended to be keenly contested, with five of their last six decided by one-goal margins.
