Danish team Copenhagen hold a slim 1-0 advantage as they approach the home fixture of their Champions League playoff against Polish side Rakow Czestochowa on Wednesday. Copenhagen is aiming for consecutive appearances in the Champions League, while Rakow is seeking to make its first entry into Europe’s top-tier club competition. Copenhagen may consider themselves fortunate to have secured a victory in the first leg in Poland last week. In that match, the visiting team managed just a single shot on target and struggled to establish control over the game.

Shortly after the first leg, Copenhagen suffered an unexpected 3-1 defeat at home to Silkeborg, ending their previously perfect record in the Danish Superliga. Nonetheless, they maintain their second position in the standings, with goal difference as the difference on top. Copenhagen began their Champions League qualification journey with a comprehensive 8-3 aggregate victory over Icelandic club Breidablik. In the prior round, they faced a tough challenge from Sparta Prague, drawing 3-3 before prevailing in a penalty shootout.

On the other hand, Rakow Czestochowa has gone through three qualifying rounds to reach the playoffs, commencing their Champions League campaign in early July. After beating Estonian team Flora in the first qualifying round, Rakow secured a 4-3 aggregate win over Qarabag FK and subsequently defeated Cypriot side Aris Limassol, setting up a playoff encounter with Copenhagen. The 32-year-old manager Dawid Szwarga aims to continue Rakow’s remarkable journey by guiding the team into the Champions League.

Copenhagen’s probable starting lineup: Grabara, Jelert, Vavro, Diks, Meling, Claesson, Falk, Goncalves, Bardghji, Larsson, Elyounoussi

Rakow Czestochowa’s probable starting lineup: Kovacevic, Racovitan, Kovacevic, Rundic, Tudor, Papanikolaou, Gerggren, Carlos, Cebula, Piasecki, Kocherhin
