Our prediction for this Champions League match:
FC Copenhagen will look to seal their spot in the Champions League third qualifying round with yet another triumph over Breidablik on Wednesday evening. The Danes proved their worth in the first leg (2-0) and they head into the reverse fixture following a thrilling 3-2 win over Vejle in the national championship. All Amoo, Khocholava, and Babacar have been struggling with injuries of late, while talented defender Valdemar Lund returns to the starting XI.
The Icelanders, on the other hand, face yet another uphill challenge in the return leg and given their under par performance in a 1-1 draw with Stjarnan at the weekend, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Influential forward Jason Dadi Svanthorsson should be recalled to the starting line-up after coming as a substitute in the last league match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (FC Copenhagen):
The most successful club in the history of Danish football FC Kopenhagen was founded in 1992, through the merger of 15-time Danish champions Kjobenhavns Boldklub and seven-time champions of Denmark Boldklubben 1903. Football Club Copenhagen play their matches at the Telia Parken, a venue that can host 38,000 spectators.
The Team of the City as Copenhagen is called in Denmark has won the Danish football championship eleven times, while it has also won the Danish Cup on seven occasions. The club forms great rivalry with Copenhagen’s suburban club Brondby IF with games between the two club attracting some of the biggest crowds in Danish football history in this so called New Firm derby.
Through its history F.C. Copenhagen have participated in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League, while their major European accomplishments have been achieved in the Royal League, with the Danish powerhouse winning two titles and coming as runners-up on one occasion.
