Brondby vs Hvidovre—I'm backing the home side to give a one-goal handicap here, and it looks pretty solid.
Brondby are one of the traditional powerhouses in the Danish Superliga, and their home advantage is no joke. Whenever they play at home, they put a lot into the attack, and their link-up play down the flanks and through the middle is very smooth. In this cup tie against the lower-division Hvidovre, they won’t hold back, and their motivation is not something to worry about.

As for Hvidovre, away to strong teams they usually have just one approach—sit deep and defend. But their back line doesn’t handle pressure that well, and after being under sustained pressure for 20 or 30 minutes, they tend to lose concentration. Brondby’s attackers are very good at pouncing on those lapses, and once they score first, the game opens up.
With a one-goal handicap, a two-goal win covers it fully, while a one-goal win is a push. Given Brondby’s firepower at home, winning by two goals is not a difficult task. I expect them to score in the first half and add another after the break, comfortably covering the spread.
