[Parken] Osterbro, will be buzzing tonight. The whole of Denmark and in particular the city of Copenhagen will be glued to their television sets
Arch-rivals FC Copenhagen (central) face Brondby (East Copenhagen) in a match that could virtually seal the title.
FC Copenhagen's Brazilian hotshot, Ailton Almeida has promised his club to bring home the league from the grasp of arch-rivals Brondby.
With the title race on a knife edge, Brondby are sitting top, one point clear of Copenhagen. With just three games left, the Copenhagen-Brondby match couldn't have come at a better time.
Ailton, who was the difference between the sides earlier in the season—scoring the winner in a 1-0 win for Copenhagen, believes his side possess psychological advantage over their rivals, having beaten them away earlier in the season (0-1).
"I hope I can do it again" Ailton said.
"Being in the right place at the right time all the time, is a quality and I hope to use it again. I will do everything in my power to tilt the race back in our favour" he continued.
A Brondby win will seal the title bar a miracle. It would put them four points clear with two games remaining, although these kind of deficits have been overhauled before. A win for Copenhagen though, would throw it wide open again as they would go two points clear.
Former Chelsea player Gronkjaer is unavailable for Copenhagen due to injury.
