Bayern Munich will be looking to continue their winning momentum in Group A of the Champions League as they battle it out with Copenhagen on Tuesday.
In their opening match last month, the Bundesliga champions secured a thrilling 4-3 victory against Manchester United while Copenhagen settled for a draw against Galatasaray in Turkey.
Match Preview
Despite Copenhagen’s strong start in the competition, with Mohamed Elyounoussi and Diogo Goncalves scoring to send them ahead 2-0 against Galatasaray, the Turkish giants managed a comeback to share the spoils.
However, Copenhagen remains determined to advance through this group, particularly with Manchester United experiencing a rocky start to the season.
The Danish outfit will be entering the match fresh from a disappointing loss to FC Midtjylland in the league but still sits at the top of their domestic table.
Copenhagen has never played against Bayern in European competition, but they have faced German clubs 12 times, losing eight matches.
Meanwhile, Bayern enters the match after securing a draw with RB Leipzig on Saturday, leaving them third on the Bundesliga table, two points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern struggled in their section opener against Man United but still managed to notch all three points.
They followed that result by pummeling Bochum in the Bundesliga with a 7-0 victory and then recording a 4-0 triumph in the German Cup.
Although they needed to come from two goals down to secure a draw against Leipzig last Saturday, the Bundesliga giants are confident of maintaining their unbeaten run in the group stages of the Champions League, having recorded 32 wins in the process.
Team news
Copenhagen will be without several key players such as Nicolai Boilesen, Davit Khocholava, Kevin Diks, Andreas Cornelius, and Elias Jelert, who was sent off in their last Champions League match.
