UEFA Champions League | FC Copenhagen VS Galatasaray; Wednesday, 13 December at 04:00 GMT +8

FC Copenhagen has only once reached the 1/8 final of the Champions League, in the 2010/11 season. They can repeat this success if they win against Galatasaray on Tuesday night at Parken Stadium. However, their recent win against Silkeborg was not enough to progress to the Landspokal Cup next phase. Jacob Neestrup’s team may have low confidence ahead of the game versus Galatasaray, as they have only won one of the previous six games in all competitions.

Galatasaray, like FC Copenhagen, needs to win to progress to the next phase. They have not lost in their last four matches, and their previous win against Adana Demirspor was a 3-1 win, with a xG of 3.62, indicating a strong performance by Okan Buruk’s team. Their current mood is positive.

FC Copenhagen’s head coach, Jacob Neestrup, expressed disappointment after the team’s 2-0 loss against Silkeborg in the cup match, but expressed satisfaction with their second leg effort. Injured players William Clem, Birger Meling, Davit Khocholava, and Khouma Babacar will not play against Galatasaray.

Galatasaray’s head coach, Okan Buruk, expressed excitement for their upcoming game against FC Copenhagen, stating that they are ready for the excitement and support from European citizens. Buruk hoped the match would be an important night for Turkish football, with the main goal being to reach the last 16. However, Galatasaray player Duncan Sanchez may miss the match in Denmark.
