The second leg of the DBU Pokalen semi-final promises to be highly competitive. FC Copenhagen return to their home ground, Parken Stadium, holding a one-goal advantage from the first leg, where the decisive goal was scored by Jordan Larsson. That goal could prove crucial over the two-legged tie, especially considering the strong form Copenhagen have shown in recent weeks.

The team from the Danish capital are playing with confidence and efficiency — they have won four consecutive matches across all competitions and currently sit at the top of the Danish Superliga table. Moreover, Copenhagen have been very solid at home, winning five of their last seven matches at Parken. Thomas Thorup’s side have shown they can perform effectively both offensively and defensively, giving them a strong chance of reaching the domestic cup final.

Viborg, on the other hand, can point to an impressive run of results — they are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 matches. However, despite this resilience, the team has struggled to convert performances into wins. They have failed to win any of their last five matches, with attacking efficiency being a particular concern. Away from home, Viborg have scored just one goal in their last three matches, which could be worrying ahead of a clash with Copenhagen’s well-organised defence.

Taking into account current form, home advantage and squad quality, the favourite for this match appears clear. FC Copenhagen have all the tools to control the game, limit threats at the back and secure their place in the DBU Pokalen final.
