Copenhagen Preview
Copenhagen is expected to finish bottom of this group, which it shares with their opponents in this match, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, with the latter having beaten them 3-0 on the first matchday of the group stage.
The Danish club is going through a bad patch in their season,as the loss was followed by a 2-1 defeat to Odense in the Danish Super League last weekend, meaning they have won just one of their last five official matches. Add to this the fact that they have never beaten a Spanish team in their history, and it could be a long night for Copenhagen.
Absences: Kamil Grabara, Zeca, Akinkunmi Amoo.
Possible lineup (4-1-4-1): Matthew Ryan; Kevin Diks, Nicolai Boilesen, Davit Khocholava, Victon Kristiansen; Rasmus Falk; Hakon Arnar Haraldsson, Lukar Lerager, Viktor Claesson, Marko Stamenic; Mamadou Karamoko.
Sevilla Preview
A loss to Manchester City on the opening day was to be expected, but the problem was how it happened:Sevilla’s 4-0 home loss to the Citizens was part of a run of three consecutive defeats before the weekend, when they ended it with a 2-3 win over Espanyol in a league match.
That was Sevilla’s first win of the 2022/23 season, and Julen Lopetegui’s team knows that this match against a direct rival is extremely important in order to qualify for the next round, or for a ticket to the UEFA Europa League, something that will be on the minds of the Andalusian players once they make their second ever visit to Denmark and their first since the 1957/58 season.
Absentees: Marcao, Oliver Torres, Jesús Corona.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Yassine Bounou; José Ángel Carmona, Nemanja Gudelj, Kike Salas, Marcos Acuña; Joan Jordán, Fernando, Isco, Alex Telles; Erik Lamela, Youssef En-Nesyri.
JefeBet Prediction
Sevilla’s defense is severely depleted following the departure of their two stars, Diego Carlos and Jules Koundé, and the team does not seem to have found a solution to their absences after allowing at least two goals in five of their six games this 2022/23 season.
Copenhagen’s backline has not been much better, showing weaknesses after allowing two or more goals in three of their last four games.
With the back line of both sides being at a fairly low level, it would not be surprising to see a few goals in this clash in Denmark, especially considering that neither side will want to lose this match.
Prediction: Over 2.5.
