Latest football match prediction: Copenhagen vs Borussia Dortmund
A series of consecutive injuries and a recent dip in form have caused Copenhagen to fall down the Danish Superliga table, dropping to fourth place and trailing leaders Aarhus by six points.
Coach Jacob Neestrup and his team suffered another shock on Friday night, losing 1-3 away to Silkeborg – a team struggling at the bottom of the table. All three goals came within a nightmarish 14-minute period, highlighting a worrying lack of concentration.
Defending champions Denmark are now on a three-match winless streak, their last victory coming almost a month ago when they beat Sonderjyske away from home — also the last time Copenhagen scored two goals in a single game.
Having only secured two wins in eight matches across all competitions, coach Neestrup began to face clear pressure from fans and pundits alike.
In the Champions League, Copenhagen have yet to win a match after two legs, having only earned one point. The 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in mid-September was a rare bright spot, and the Danish team will be hoping for another positive performance when they face another Bundesliga representative — Borussia Dortmund.
On the other side of the pitch, Dortmund entered this match determined to regain their winning form after the painful 1-2 defeat against rivals Bayern Munich in the "Der Klassiker" last weekend.
That defeat not only ended their nine-match unbeaten run from the start of the season, but also left Niko Kovac's team trailing the Bundesliga title race by seven points.
However, Dortmund's Champions League form remains impressive. They had a thrilling 4-4 draw against Juventus in the opening match, before thrashing Athletic Bilbao 4-1 at home. With eight goals in two matches, Dortmund are currently the highest-scoring team in the competition.
The German representatives are aiming to extend their explosive goal-scoring form as they face a Copenhagen side struggling both mentally and physically.
In the past, Dortmund have won three of their last four encounters with this Danish team, although the most recent meeting three years ago ended in a 1-1 draw.
