Danish side Copenhagen square off against Turkish heavyweights Galatasaray in a fiesty Group A clash in the UEFA Champions League with both teams still in the hunt to make it through to the next round of the competition.
Copenhagen were successful in stopping Harry Kane and company in their previous group stage encounter helping them earn a valuable point. The toothless stalemate between the two sides saw the home side sit just behind Bayern in the table. Even a draw could help Copenhagen reach the last 16 of the 2023/24 UCL campaign if Bayern Munich beats Manchester United but a victory would seal their fate despite the result at Old Trafford.
Galatasaray, on the other hand, will need all three points if they want to leapfrog the home side and reach the next stage of the competition. Galatasaray also enter the contest on the back of a stalemate against Manchester United in the UCL despite a deficit of two goals in the second-half and their never give up attitude could be useful during their trip to Denmark.
