AGF come into the game on the back of a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Silkeborg last week.
It was a disappointing result for AGF against the team sitting bottom of the Championship round and the only goal of the match was scored in the 47th minute.
The defeat to Silkeborg means AGF have lost each of their last 6 Superliga fixtures.
There have been defeats against Nordsjælland, Copenhagen, and Midtjylland away plus Nordsjælland at home in the Superliga. AGF also lost the DBU Pokalen final 1-0 to Silkeborg.
Trends show AGF have recorded just a single win from their 9 most recent Superliga games.
AGF have conceded at least 1 goal in each of their last 8 league matches and that includes each of their last 3 at home.
AGF have recorded just 1 win from their 5 most recent home Superliga fixtures and both teams have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games on home soil.
Copenhagen make the trip to Ceres Park & Arena having lost 2-1 at home against Midtjylland in their most recent Superliga match.
It was a damaging loss for Copenhagen in their pursuit of the title and they were 2-0 down at halftime.
Into the second half and Copenhagen pulled a goal back in the 87th minute but there was not enough time to find the equaliser.
The defeat to Midtjylland was the first loss in 5 matches for Copenhagen, all of which were played in the Superliga.
They won all 4 of their previous fixtures, with the wins coming over Silkeborg and AGF at home plus Silkeborg and Brondby away.
The stats show Copenhagen are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 away league games.
Both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 on the road. Copenhagen are undefeated in their last 6 away clashes with AGF in the Superliga.
Team news: AGF are without suspended defender Eric Kahl. Janni Serra, Mats Knoester, Mikkel Duelund, and Michael Akoto are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Kevin Yakob.
Copenhagen travel without Andreas Cornelius, Roony Bardghji, and Nicolai Boilesen due to injury. Khouma Babacar, Theo Sander, and David Khocholava are doubts.
AGF have been struggling in the Championship round while Copenhagen know they cannot afford to drop more points if they want to win the title.
We predict both teams to score in this game and with such a convincing recent head-to-head record against AGF, we expect Copenhagen to claim a narrow win.
