Team Overview
FC København Looking to Leverage Home Comforts
Copenhagen are unbeaten in their last two Group A matches. Overall, they have won once, drawn twice, and lost twice in their five matches in the Champions League group stage action.
Copenhagen have scored seven times in five outings in the Champions League this season; however, they have conceded eight times, highlighting their weakness. Their inability to keep clean sheets means that they will need to win at home to Galatasaray to guarantee passage to the knockout stages.
They will need their attackers, Cornelius, Elyounoussi, and Froholdt, to step up on Tuesday.
Galatasaray Counting on Their Potency on the Counter Away From Home
Galatasaray are winless in their last three matches, losing twice against Bayern Munich and drawing once at home to Manchester United. They especially compounded football bet predictions with the 0-0 at home to Bayern Munich last time out. They have collected five points, level with their Tuesday opponents Copenhagen.
Galatasaray are struggling to keep clean sheets in the Champions League. Although they have scored an impressive 10 in their Group A action, they have conceded 12 goals, which has led to dropped points.
A defensive partnership of Nelson and Bardakci will be tested in Denmark on Tuesday; a clean sheet will be crucial if Galatasaray are to progress to the knockouts.
