FC Copenhagen Team News

Copenhagen played very well in the group stage, as confirmed by their position in the table before the last round. However, considering the competitiveness of the teams, if they want to advance to the next phase of the elite European competition, the host needs a victory in this duel to be independent of the results of other matches. In the case of a draw, they must rely on the hope that Manchester United will not defeat Bayern Munich.

The host took a significant step towards the European spring with a point in Munich in the previous round, and it is a real shame that they dropped points in some earlier matches in the final minutes. We refer, in particular, to the game in Istanbul, where they had a 2:0 lead, but it ended 2:2 with two goals from Galatasaray in the 86th and 88th minutes. Also, in their away game against United, they missed a penalty for equalization in the 97th minute of the match.

Galatasaray Team News

Galatasaray invested heavily at the beginning of this season, and this match is an opportunity for them to reap the rewards of all their efforts. Only a victory ensures the guests’ passage to the Champions League Round of 16. At the same time, a draw or a loss would require them to rely on the hope that Manchester United does not defeat Bayern, who has already secured the top spot mathematically and is coming to Manchester without pressure.

In the previous round, Galatasaray played a thrilling 3:3 draw in Istanbul against Manchester United, even though they were trailing 0:2 after just 12 minutes. Coach Buruk’s team once again demonstrated that they never give up, and such spirit earned them a point despite having opportunities to secure a victory in the match’s final minutes. Alongside their excellent European results, the guests are the leaders in the Turkish championship, with a record of 13 wins, one draw, and only one loss, and undoubtedly, they approach the duel with Copenhagen with great confidence.
