The Champions League match between Copenhagen and Bayern Munich will take place at Parken on Tuesday at 10:15 pm IST.
Bayern Munich is looking to achieve back-to-back victories in their Champions League Group A campaign as they prepare to face Copenhagen on Tuesday evening. In their first match of the group stage last month, the Bundesliga champions secured a 4-3 win against Manchester United, whereas Copenhagen played to a 2-2 draw against the Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray.
Copenhagen had a chance to secure three points against Galatasaray in their Group A opener, going 2-0 ahead with goals from Mohamed Elyounoussi and Diogo Goncalves. However, late goals from Galatasaray resulted in a 2-2 draw, leaving Copenhagen with just one point, which they would have accepted before the match. In the 2010-11 season, they reached the Champions League round of 16 but lost to Chelsea. There’s potential for them to advance from this group, especially with Manchester United’s early-season struggles. Despite a recent 2-0 loss to FC Midtjylland in the league, Jacob Neestrup’s team remains atop their domestic table with 22 points. Copenhagen hasn’t faced Bayern Munich in European competition but has a history against German teams, with no wins and eight defeats in 12 encounters.
Bayern Munich heads into this match after a 2-2 draw with RB Leipzig, placing them third in the Bundesliga, trailing leaders Bayer Leverkusen by two points. Thomas Tuchel’s team didn’t impress in their group opener against Manchester United but managed a 4-3 victory. They followed it up with a dominant 7-0 win over Bochum in the Bundesliga and a 4-0 triumph in the German Cup. However, they struggled against Leipzig, coming from two goals down to secure a draw, thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Leroy Sane in the second half. Bayern has a strong record against Danish clubs, winning five of their last six encounters. However, their last match against a Danish team was in the 1998-99 group stage, where they lost 2-1 to Brondby in an away fixture. Bayern holds a competition-record unbeaten streak, with 35 consecutive matches undefeated in the Champions League group stage, including 32 wins.
Copenhagen probable starting lineup: Grabara, Ankersen, Vavro, Sorensen, Meling, Goncalves, Falk, Lerager, Elyounoussi, Larsson, Achouri
Bayern Munich probable starting lineup: Ulreich, Laimer, Upamecano, Min-Jae, Davies, Goretzka, Kimmich, Sane, Musiala, Coman, Kane
