Copenhagen and Vejle BK will battle for three points in a Danish Superliga matchday 12 clash on Friday (October 18th). The home side will be hoping to bounce back from their 2-2 draw away to Silkeborg before the international break.
They went into the break two goals behind courtesy of strikes from Younes Bakiz and Jeppe Andersen. Viktor Claesson halved the deficit in the 71st minute before Gabriel Pereira drew the game level with five minutes left on the clock.
