The UEFA Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Copenhagen will take place at Allianz Arena on Thursday at 1:30 am IST.
Having already secured their position as Group A winners, Bayern Munich welcomes Copenhagen to the Allianz Arena in Wednesday’s Champions League match. With nothing at stake but pride in the final two matchdays for Thomas Tuchel’s team, Copenhagen is embroiled in a competitive three-way race for the second-place spot.
For the majority of their match against Galatasaray on matchday four, Bayern Munich faced resistance from Okan Buruk’s resilient defense, challenging their perfect Champions League group stage record. Harry Kane, however, rose to the occasion, scoring two crucial goals from a Joshua Kimmich free kick and securing a 3-1 victory, rendering Cedric Bakambu’s late strike a mere consolation. With 12 points from four matches and their Group A rivals unable to catch up, Bayern has comfortably secured a spot in the last 16. Despite a recent DFB-Pokal setback, the team, led by Kane’s prolific form, has rebounded with a four-game winning streak, including a 1-0 victory over Koln where Kane set a Bundesliga record with 18 goals in a season.
Benefiting from a contentious red card to Marcus Rashford, Copenhagen staged an impressive comeback against Manchester United on matchday four, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring twice in his homeland. Mohamed Elyounoussi, Diogo Goncalves, and Lukas Lerager added goals, while Roony Bardghji sealed a 4-3 victory. This avenged their earlier loss to United and propelled them to second place in Group A, edging past Galatasaray on goal difference. While their knockout stage history is limited, Copenhagen controls their destiny. Recent Superliga results have been mixed, with a draw against Brondby and a 2-1 loss to Viborg. Despite an earlier 2-1 loss to Bayern, Copenhagen remains in contention for a crucial matchup with Galatasaray in two weeks.
Bayern Munich probable starting lineup: Neuer, Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim, Davies, Goretzka, Kimmich, Gnabry, Muller, Sane, Kane
Copenhagen probable starting lineup: Grabara, Jelert, Diks, Vavro, Sorensen, Goncalves, Falk, Lerager, Bardghji, Claesson, Elyounoussi
