- After two assists in his last four appearances for FC Copenhagen, Mustapha Bundu will face some familiar faces on Sunday in the Danish Superliga.
- The Sierra Leone international, who joined Copenhagen from Belgian side Anderlecht on loan, will line up against AGF Aarhus at Parken Stadium, Copenhagen.
Bundu, 24, scored 21 goals 25 assists in 109 appearances during his time with former Danish club AGF Aarhus in four seasons from 2016 to 2020.
It is expected to be a cracker as third-placed AGF travel to face Copenhagen on fourth.
However, the Leone Stars attacker has struggled in front of goal since his move away from AGF.
He has not scored in his last 13 games between Anderlecht, and Copenhagen, a stats he will be gearing to change.
The former Hereford winger will face a good number of his former team he still has a good relationship with.
FC Copenhagen won 1-0 in the first meeting of the season in Aarhus.
Both sides have lock horns 77 times in the Danish Superliga Copenhagen won 37 while AGF 18 and 22 draws.

Fankaty Dabo, who started on the bench in Coventry City’s midweek 1-0 defeat to Swansea at the Liberty Stadium, is set to start for the first time since January after recovering from injury.
Rival right wing-back Julien Dacosta suffered an injury and was replaced with Dabo, 25, in the 46th minute against Swansea on Wednesday.
Dabo last played full throttle for Sky Blues against Sheffield Wednesday, where he captained the Sky Blues for the first time.
Mark Robins’ side has managed only one win in their last six and Blackburn Rovers will provide another acid test for West Midlands’ side.
Coventry suffered a 4-0 defeat in the reverse fixture at St Andrew’s having played most of the game with 10-men after Michael Rose’s early red card.
Robins is expecting a different game on Saturday from the one played between the two teams earlier in the season and feels all the pressure is on Tony Mowbray’s side.
“We’ve got to go there and put in a really strong performance that defeat stung against Blackburn for a number of reasons it’s a different game from the first one early in the season, they’re in a bit of a sticky patch, but they have some really good players in their squad,” he told club’s website.
Rovers’ boss, on the other hand, has said he is not worried about his job after a run of poor form.
Tony Mowbray noted that he doesn’t ‘sit in fear’ of his position as he looks to arrest Rovers’ poor run against Coventry City this afternoon having lost their last five matches.
“I don’t sit here fighting for my job, I don’t sit here in fear, I sit here wanting to win the next football match and put the best team we can on that grass,” Mowbray said. “I’m here, seven in the morning until seven at night, working, doing what I do, leaving no stone unturned.”
Both teams have been struggling this season, with Rovers in 16th position while City standing 20th in the English Championship log.

- Huddersfield Town’s Spanish boss, Carlos Corberan, has admitted that he admired Sierra Leone native Josh Koroma’s willingness to flourish’ since his arrival in the summer.
Koroma, 22, is the club’s top scorer with six goals but was injured in December against Sheffield Wednesday.
Corberan’s side has struggled to cope without their key man, to say the least.
Koroma had just scored five goals in eight games when he suffered his hamstring injury while sliding to reach the ball, and they have struggled to replace those goals.
“I cannot say that he was in my mind for the first eleven when I arrived here. In my mind was to analyse if he would be a player ready to help the team, and I found a player with a lot of demand to improve and a lot of skills that could be adapted very well to play as a left-winger in our team,” Corberan said.
“I think the mission of Koroma was an important mission for us up until his injury as he was performing really well for us.”
He added, “After we lost Koroma, we needed to re-adapt the team.”
The former Leyton Orient attacker is set to return to action in March.
