Breidablik vs FC Copenhagen
UEFA Champions League Qualification
Date: 25 July 2023, Tuesday
Venue: Kopavogsvollur (Kopavogur).
Breidablik will continue their fairytale Champions League run on Tuesday evening when they host FC Copenhagen in the first leg of the second qualifying round at Kopavogsvollur.
The hosts have shown phenomenal displays in both the preliminary round and the first qualifying round, claiming four wins in four matches along the way.
Oskar Hrafn Thorvaldsson’s men eliminated Irish Premier Division champions Shamrock Rovers via two wins in the opening qualifying round.
They did reveal defensive holes in the second leg played seven days ago, allowing the Irish side six shots on target in Kopavogur.
Unfortunately for their fans, we believe Biedablik’s streak in the elite continental competition has come to an end here.
They are about to face the likes of FC Copenhagen who posses immense European experience and who own a very strong roster at the moment.
Copenhagen played the UEFA Champions League group stage last year, securing three home draws against the likes of Manchester City (latter champions), Sevilla, and Borussia Dortmund in the process.
They have shown great attacking displays in recent preseason friendlies as well, scoring two goals in each of the last three outings against Silkeborg, Schalke 04, and Viktoria Plzen.
We certainly have numerous reasons to expect an easy job for the Danes here and we would by no means be surprised to see them closing the tie after the first leg in Kopavogur.
