Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Copenhagen 1-2 Aarhus
Sunday, December 3 at 5pm in Danish Superliga

We said: Copenhagen 2-3 Galatasaray

The footballing gods should bless the Parken Stadium turf with goals on Tuesday evening, as only a win will do for both sides if they are to make 100% certain of a knockout appearance, and attacking proficiency is where Galatasaray's strengths lie. Copenhagen have shown enough promise in the final third to suggest that a couple of goals could also come their way, but we simply cannot look past the offensive firepower at Buruk's disposal and are tipping Galatasaray to nab the second and final qualification spot in Group A.
