Champions League
Qarabağ and Copenhagen have crossed paths before in European qualifying rounds, with their meetings always proving close and hard-fought. The two clubs met most notably in the 2017/18 Champions League play-offs, where Qarabağ progressed on away goals after a narrow 2-2 aggregate draw.
Qarabag FK team overview
Qarabağ come into this game on the back of strong domestic form and a remarkable win on the opening matchday of this season’s Champions League away at Benfica. The Azerbaijani side overturned a two-goal deficit to claim a dramatic 3-2 victory in the final minutes of regular time, with Oleksiy Kashchuk scoring the decisive goal. Domestically, they continue to dominate the Azerbaijan Premier League, having recorded back-to-back wins in recent weeks while scoring seven goals without reply. Their attacking play has been driven by a consistent front line, with foreign imports and experienced internationals providing the cutting edge in front of goal.
Joni Montiel is the only absentee ahead of Wednesday’s fixture.

FC Copenhagen team overview
FC Copenhagen arrive with confidence, having maintained strong form in the Danish Superliga. Their attacking options remain their biggest asset, with strikers and creative midfielders consistently contributing to the goal tally. In the Champions League, they opened their campaign with an entertaining yet slightly frustrating 2-2 draw against Leverkusen, having led 2-1 until the second minute of stoppage time. Domestically, the Danish champions have also produced notable results: they followed up a thrilling 3-3 draw with Silkeborg by securing their sixth league win of the season last weekend, edging Sonderjyske 2-1. In Europe, Copenhagen have built a reputation for discipline, organization, and the ability to unsettle stronger opponents through structured defending and sharp counter-attacks. However, their capacity to impose themselves against so-called weaker opposition remains an open question.
Magnus Mattsson, Oliver Hojer and Jonathan Moalem are all listed as injured and will not feature on Wednesday.

Prediction
This game promises to be a finely balanced encounter between two evenly matched teams. Qarabağ’s home advantage and their ability to frustrate visiting sides will be significant factors, while Copenhagen’s greater European pedigree and attacking quality give them a slight edge. Both sides are likely to approach the match cautiously, aware of the consequences of dropping points early in the group stage. A tight draw looks the most likely outcome, though we may stick to a safer prediction of both teams scoring (BTTS - YES).
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Qarabağ scored three times away at Benfica in their opening group-stage match of the 2025/26 Champions League season.
- FC Copenhagen played out a 2-2 draw with Leverkusen in Round 1, showcasing their attacking potential.
- Copenhagen have found the back of the net in 12 consecutive fixtures across all competitions, while Qarabağ have scored in six successive matches.
