Team Analysis
The first leg of the UEFA Champions League play-offs between FC Copenhagen and Basel ended in a 1-1 draw, setting up a thrilling second leg. For Copenhagen, returning to their home stadium is a huge advantage. They will rely on the support of their home fans to try and win the match. Basel needs either a win or a draw with a score higher than 1-1 to advance, which means they must adopt a more aggressive attacking strategy rather than just defending.
Player Situation
Copenhagen was without key players Elias Achour and Thomas Delaney in the first leg, and they remain sidelined with injuries. However, their central defender Gabriel Pereira has been in excellent form recently and is expected to score again. On the Basel side, star forward Kevin Carlos has left the club, so their attack will rely more on the performances of captain Xherdan Shaqiri and Philip Otele.
Nowgoal Prediction
The two teams were evenly matched in the first leg, but Copenhagen's home advantage is crucial in a Champions League match. Although Basel is eager to score away goals, Copenhagen's defensive and counter-attacking capabilities should not be underestimated. It is expected that Copenhagen will control the game, exploiting any defensive gaps left by Basel. This match might not see many goals, but Copenhagen will ultimately secure a victory with a more stable performance and home advantage.
Prediction: FC Copenhagen 1-0 Basel
