Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Parken Stadium will host Wednesday’s Champions League game between Copenhagen and Sevilla, the two teams who meet for the first time ever in the elite competition. Copenhagen failed to spoil Borussia Dortmund’s party at Signal-Iduna-Park (0-3), and given their display in a 2-1 loss to Odense, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the Danes. Both Kamil Grabara and Akinkunmi Amoo should miss out with injuries for the home side.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Espanyol, and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Since the Spaniards are high on spirits ahead of the trip to Denmark, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in backing the visiting side to record a victory. All Papu Gomez, Marcao, and Jesus Corona are injured for the away team.
