Wednesday's Champions League qualification Play-off game sees Copenhagen and Rakow Czestochowa meet for the second time in just over a week. The hosts won the first leg 1-0 in Poland.
The Lions, who have won the last two championships in Denmark, are enjoying a fine start to their 2023-24 league campaign. Jacob Neestrup's side are top of the table with 15 points from their first six games. However, their most recent defeat was a 3-1 loss to Silkeborg on Saturday and they know that a similar result on Wednesday would see them eliminated from Europe.
Rakow Czestochowa meanwhile are seventh in the Polish top flight after four games played so far this season. The visitors have not had any football action since the defeat in the first leg.
FC Copenhagen vs Rakow Czestochowa Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Copenhagen's start into the new league season has been absolutely good, but the team has not been able to repeat this form in Europe. The Lions have won just one of their five matches played so far in Europe with a two goal difference. They also struggled in recent European home games, winning only one of their last five matches. Under than 2.5 goals were scored in four of those matches.
Rakow Czestochowa have a very good defensive record. The Poles have conceded fewer than 1.5 goals in four of their last five matches. Another reason why we expect a close game is the fact that the visitors also have a decent away record in Europe. They lost only two of their previous nine away European games.
