----------------------------
Copenhagen and Malmo will meet again in the second leg of their Champions League qualifying third round after a scoreless first match. The draw favored Copenhagen, who now host the decisive game at Parken Stadium.
Team Analysis:
Copenhagen and Malmo, meeting for the first time in Champions League competition, played to a goalless draw in their first leg. With a playoff spot against Basel on the line, both teams now prepare for the decisive second leg. Copenhagen, despite a strong qualifying start, recently suffered a surprising home loss to Aarhus, raising concerns about their defense.
Malmo, with fewer Champions League appearances, advanced through earlier rounds convincingly but also lost their last domestic match. While struggling in their league, Malmo remain strong away from home and have previously beaten Copenhagen at Parken Stadium.
Player Situation:
Copenhagen will be without Elias Achouri due to injury, adding to their list of absentees alongside Oliver Hojer, Jonathan Moalem, and Junnosuke Suzuki. Mohamed Elyounoussi or Youssoufa Moukoko may replace him.
Malmo are also missing key players, including captain Anders Christiansen and Martin Olsson, while Erik Botheim remains doubtful. Taha Ali or young forward Daniel Gudjohnsen is expected to lead Malmo’s attack.
Result Prediction:
Recent league losses have added pressure for both teams ahead of the second leg. Malmo can't rely solely on defense to advance, while Copenhagen, known for their strong defense this season aside from one slip, are expected to eventually score and then hold their lead to reach the playoffs.
Predicted Result: FC Copenhagen 1-0 Malmo.
