Players to watch

Copenhagen's attack has a couple of clear focal points. M. Elyounoussi has six goals in eight appearances, and B. Meling has added four in seven, so both look like players Sonderjyske will need to deal with.

At the other end, M. Haidara is Sonderjyske's main scoring threat with four goals in nine matches. Discipline is worth flagging too: S. Emini has picked up four yellow cards in eight games, and two Sonderjyske players have already been sent off this season in limited minutes.

Sonderjyske's disciplinary record is something to keep an eye on, though it's not proof of who'll be available for this specific game.
