Copenhagen take on the visitors Trabzonspor in the first leg of UEFA Champions League qualification finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 16th at Parken Stadium (Copenhagen).
Copenhagen once again confirmed its status as the strongest in Danish football. As a result, 3 points ahead of the main competitor "Midtjylland", "lions" took the "gold". It has already become the 14th league title - a significant result, especially considering that the capital project was founded in 1992. They celebrated his 30th anniversary with another trophy. I would like to develop success by shooting in the Champions League. There they played in the group round several times, and the Danes even made it to the playoffs. Recently, however, the wards of Jess Torup have played longer in other European competitions. For example, last year we reached the 1/8 finals of the Conference League. There they lost to PSV. Now Copenhagen is not in the best shape. At the start of the championship, they alternate victories with defeats, releasing competitors into the lead.

Trabzonspor had a great last season. Ward Abdullay Avci lost only 3 matches for the entire draw, and then mostly points were lost at the finish line, when everything became clear. As a result, it turned out to take the championship, breaking away by 8 points from the nearest pursuer, Fenerbahce. The season before last brought 2nd place and the national cup. And finally, the title, after almost 3 decades of waiting. Also, the team will finally play in the Champions League. They missed the season before last due to a UEFA ban. And in the past, they received in the qualification of the League of Conferences, passing on penalties to Molde, the most powerful opponent – Roma, who eventually won the tournament. Now the team is stronger, it has been strengthened by the signings of Dansville, Stieger Larsen and the Egyptian Trezeguet.
Copenhagen and Trabzonspor play regularly in European competition. And they have a reputation for strong teams. But they have never crossed paths with each other. Bookmakers consider Copenhagen the favorite of the first match. But it is clear that everything will be decided in Turkey, so we take “under 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
