FC Copenhagen hosts Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, looking to end their winless streak in Europe’s top club competition.
FC Copenhagen will host Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, aiming to end their winless streak in Europe’s top club competition.
The Danish side has struggled, losing 2-0 to Qarabag and drawing 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen in their previous European matches.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich. They have four points from two games, having drawn 4-4 with Juventus and beating Athletic Club 4-1 in the Champions League.
FC Copenhagen’s struggles continued in their most recent match, suffering a 3-1 Superliga defeat to Silkeborg. They trailed 3-0 at half-time, highlighting their current challenges. The team will be without Magnus Mattsson and Rodrigo Huescas, both sidelined with long-term knee problems.
Andreas Cornelius, Thomas Delaney, and Mohamed Elyounoussi are all doubtful for FC Copenhagen, having missed Friday’s defeat to Silkeborg. Former BVB striker Youssoufa Moukoko is in contention to start against his old club, but his place in the lineup is uncertain.
Borussia Dortmund will be without Emre Can (groin) and Julien Duranville (shoulder), both long-term absentees. The team has shown promise, and this match will be a great opportunity for them to showcase their skills.
The two teams have a history, having met at Parken in the 2022/23 Champions League, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw. FC Copenhagen will look to capitalize on their home advantage and secure a win.
