Copenhagen lead the Superliga by five points on a five-match winning run, while Midtjylland are unbeaten in nine and have not lost at home.

Midtjylland to win or draw at 1.53 is the one reviewed price that offers anything; the first-half version at 1.38 and Midtjylland to win at 2.6 are close to fair, and Over 2.5 at 1.67 does not justify its price.

Context

Benjamin Leander reported that Rasmus Nissen Kristensen's red card in the 1-1 draw at Odense on 19 September carries a suspension that applies to round 10, which is this match and Midtjylland's first Superliga game since that dismissal. Midtjylland's own channels call the 29-year-old their captain and note he started all four of Denmark's games in the window, so the ban removes a first-choice defensive leader from the side facing a team on a five-match winning run. The suspension is journalist-sourced rather than confirmed by club or league, so it warrants a conservative reading, though Midtjylland have also added Andreas Maxso on a short contract as cover in the same unit.
- Danish football analyst Benjamin Leander reported on 19 September that Rasmus Nissen Kristensen was sent off at Odense and is suspended for round 10 against FC Copenhagen.
- Leander described the dismissal as a stamp over the boot.
- FC Midtjylland's own account described the 29-year-old as its captain and said he started all four of Denmark's matches in the September-October international window (5 October).
- R. Kristensen started 4 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

Copenhagen carry 27 points from their first 10 rounds and a five-point lead at the top, confirmed by the league after a fifth straight win on 20 September, into the most difficult away fixture left in their autumn. Benjamin Leander's note that they have not won an autumn match in Herning since October 2016 is the counterweight: the trip has been a reliable stumbling block even for strong Copenhagen sides. A win would give them the second-best 10-round start in Superliga history, which is why the stakes here are about the size of the early lead rather than three ordinary points. The record spans several different Copenhagen squads, so it is context for how unusual a win would be rather than a forecast.
- Benjamin Leander noted on 20 September that Copenhagen had 27 points after 10 rounds and that a win in Herning would be the second-best 10-round start in Superliga history.
- The same post noted that Copenhagen have not won an autumn game in Herning since October 2016.
- The league's own account said Copenhagen went into the international break five points clear at the top (21 September) after a fifth straight Superliga win (20 September).

Midtjylland's back line has been the most affected part of an injury-hit autumn, and the club moved on 29 September to sign out-of-contract defender Andreas Maxso until the turn of the year, with his first session that same day. Three days later the club reported that Mads Bech and Ousmane Diao were back on the pitch in an unofficial friendly, restoring bodies to the unit that must now cover Rasmus Nissen Kristensen's suspension against the league leaders. Maxso's deal is short, he has only unofficial minutes behind him at the club, and Fredericia won that friendly 2-3, so the reinforcement does not fully answer the question of how Midtjylland build a back line for this game.
- FC Midtjylland announced on 29 September the signing of 32-year-old defender Andreas Maxso on a contract to the turn of the year, with his first training session the same day.
- Danish reporter Farzam Abolhosseini wrote on 29 September that the short contract leaves Maxso available for the top game against FC Copenhagen.
- The club reported on 3 October that Maxso made his unofficial debut and that Mads Bech and Ousmane Diao were back on the pitch after injuries in a friendly against Fredericia that Midtjylland lost 2-3.

South Korea released Cho Gue-sung from their four-match window early so he could focus on recovery, with no replacement called up, and an injury-tracking account reported him back from injury on 8 October, three days before this fixture. The striker had scored three goals and added an assist for Midtjylland before joining the camp, so he is directly relevant to how Midtjylland attack a Copenhagen side that has conceded little during its winning run. The return is reported by a tracking account rather than announced by the club, and the Korean federation framed the move as protecting him rather than diagnosing a specific absence, so his starting status should be treated as uncertain.
- South Korea's football association released Cho Gue-sung from the September-October camp early for recovery, with no replacement called up, according to a post on 29 September reproducing the official notice.
- He had been left out of the Ecuador game on medical advice after scoring three goals and adding an assist for Midtjylland before joining the camp (27 September).
- An injury-tracking account listed him as out for rest with an expected return of 8 October and then reported on 8 October that he was back from injury.
- Cho Gue-Sung started 4 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
