Chelsea vs FC Copenhagen Prediction & Tips
Chelsea
The club not so long ago, under Tuchel, won the Champions League again. But then there was a decline in 2022/2023. Moreover, then Pochettino only led his charges to sixth place in the Premier League last spring. With Manchester United’s cup win, this only gave them a place in the Conference League. However, for new manager Enzo Maresca, this was not a priority. They are fighting for further promotion in the Premier League, and in December they even reached second place in the current table. But subsequent failures left them outside the top four.
In the Conference League, the English played with a reserve team. And they were almost eliminated in the qualification by Servette, losing 1-2 as visitors after beating the Swiss, but in the end they managed to score one more goal. In the group stage, they managed to win all six matches. As a result, they advanced directly to the round of 16, also from first place. In Denmark, not without questions, but they still won, 2-1.
Copenhagen
The team can be considered the best in their native Denmark in recent decades. Yes, in the last edition of the Super League they only managed third place. But firstly, at that time, Neestrup’s charges also qualified for the Champions League playoffs, which took a lot of energy out of them. Secondly, they are now managing to fight their way back to first place, gradually pulling away from Midtjylland and other chasers.
But last season’s results took the Danish giants into the Conference League, and even into the qualification. Like the English, the favourites were almost eliminated by Banik, exchanging wins and advancing only after a penalty shoot-out. The problems continued. In the group stage, the club suffered one defeat with a couple of draws, but wins over Dinamo Minsk and Hearts kept them going. In February, already in the playoffs, the team first managed to lose 1-2 to Heidenheim, after which they managed a 3-1 win in Germany, enough for overall success. Now the round starts again with a minimal defeat at home.
