Copenhagen spared their mainstays in the weekend match and lost 1: 3 to Silkeborg. They are not in the best form in the Champions League either, having only drawn two of their last three qualification matches, and survived several big chances in Poland.

As expected, Rakow postponed the league before the historic match. Compared to the first game, they have to work on the final phase, which they don’t have much problem with at other times. After all, he gave Limassol a three in the aggregate of the double match and even gave Karabakh and Flora Tallinn a four.

Copenhagen’s key figures

The home team is led by winger Diogo Gonçalves, the Portuguese international has collected a record of 5+4 in ten games. Swedish international Jordan Larsson is raging from the top of the attack, hitting four times and assisting once.

Rakow’s key figures

The Polish side rely on striker Lukasz Zwolinski, the summer signing is already on five goals. The rest of the squad has no shooting spittle yet, with offensive midfielder Bartosz Nowak on at least two shots.

The Copenhagen arena has been described as an impregnable fortress, but that hasn’t been the case in recent weeks. At home, the Danish champion has won only one of the past three games. At the weekend they lost to the big outsider Silkeborg.

Rakow have won all their qualification matches except for their home game against Copenhagen. It won all three preliminary rounds at home, and also won in Limassol and Tallinn. On the hot ground of Karabakh, they took a valuable 0-0 draw.

Considering the fact that the home side can play for a draw, also considering Rakow’s cup form and on the contrary Copenhagen’s poor home results, I think the Polish side will not lose.

Betting tip l Rakow will not lose at odds of 2.3
