Copenhagen take on the visitors Randers in the final match of Conference League playoffs in Danish Superliga. The match will be played on Friday, May 31st at Parken Stadium (Copenhagen).
Until the very end of the championship, Copenhagen was in the race for the gold medals. However, the team faltered at the season's finish, failing to become the best in the country for the third consecutive time and only securing the bronze medals. Along with that came the right to participate in the match for a spot in the Conference League for the new season. Considering the level of their opponent, the Lions are rightfully considered clear favorites in this matchup. Even though Copenhagen have faced much tougher opponents in recent months compared to Randers, the ex-champions have performed well at home with 9 wins in 16 matches.

The Horses finished in tenth place in the regular season standings. They ended up in the relegation group but performed better there, ultimately winning it and securing seventh place. This granted them the right to compete against Copenhagen for a chance to participate in European competitions next season. Honestly, I see Randers' chances of success in this matchup as minimal. The Horses are objectively much weaker than the Lions. Additionally, the match will be played on their opponent's territory. Randers' players, even in the relegation group where the opponents were of lower caliber, occasionally lost away matches. They lost their last two away matches in the championship against Lyngby (1-2) and Odense (0-2).
Copenhagen are the bronze medalist of the Danish championship, while Randers are the seventh team in the league. It is obvious that the capital team is the favorite in this playoff match for the right to compete in the Conference League in the fall. In the last five head-to-head meetings, Randers have lost to Copenhagen five times. In all five cases, the losses were by at least two goals: 0-2, 0-4, 0-4, 2-4, 2-4. I believe that the Lions will once again trample the Horses. I am betting on the favorite to win with a handicap of (-1). In the worst case, I expect the bet to be returned.
Prediction for the match: Copenhagen to win with -1.0 handicap.
