FC Copenhagen v Leicester Betting Preview – UEFA Champions League 2nd November
The Danish outfit needs a win in this one to claw their way into contention to potentially join Leicester in the next round. They start five points behind Group G leaders Leicester after falling to a defeat at the King Power Stadium a couple of weeks ago. It has been a brilliant start from Leicester on their UEFA Champions League debut with three wins from three so far and they could win the group with a victory and a failure by Porto to beat Club Brugge. It could be a massive night for the Foxes out on the road.

FC Copenhagen v Leicester Betting Tips
This could be a huge night for Leicester in the UEFA Champions League in their debut campaign. They can ensure a place in the next round if they bank a win on Wednesday night. Actually, if Leicester to win and Porto don’t then the Foxes would be assured of top spot in the group. If Porto don’t win then Leicester just needs a draw to book qualification. This will be Leicester’s first competitive match in Denmark. Claudio Ranieri’s men carded an important 1-0 win at home last time out at the King Power over FC Copenhagen to put themselves in the driving seat in the group. That’s three wins from three from them so far and each victory has been with a clean sheet too. Leicester to win to nil in this one is going to fetch you a price of 9/2 with bookmaker Bet365. It’s likely that the only way that Leicester are going to win this one is going to be to nil as it is expected to be tight.
Leicester’s other away game in the group so far saw them bank an impressive 3-0 win at Club Brugge on Match Day One. So they just need to get over the line now and put themselves in the next phase. If they can win the group with two games to spare, that would be huge. Islam Slimani and Jamie Vardy are a price of around 9/4 in the anytime goalscorer market, with Riyad Mahrez at 3/1. As this is expected to be a tight clash, you can go for 8/13 at Bet365 on the game going under 2.5 goals. Just a nod towards how well Leicester have done, there are only two other clubs in the competition at the moment on maximum points and Leicester and Atletico Madrid are the only sides not to have conceded a goal yet. Copenhagen, as they proved in the first meeting they are a tough side to beat and will be even harder on home soil as well.
The Danes need a response to try and get themselves into a better shot at qualifying. They were on a huge 23 match unbeaten streak in all competitions before they lost that one against Leicester two weeks ago. They are in great form at home and they have won their four home fixtures (including qualifying) in this season’s competition. So they will put up a fight and they have suffered just the one loss in their last 27 matches across all competitions. Copenhagen have Federico Santander as 2/1 favourite in the anytime goalscorer market, with Andreas Cornelius and Andrija Pavlovic not far behind. You are looking at narrow margins on this one and a 1-1 draw in the correct score market is a tempting 5/1 shot while a Copenhagen to win by a 1 goal margin wager is a price of 11/4.

FC Copenhagen v Leicester Predictions
A tough game out on the road for the Foxes but they have handled themselves pretty well this season in the UEFA Champions League it has to be said. They will be confident after their draw with Spurs on the weekend too of picking up a point in this one. It’s worth looking at the draw because Copenhagen will be tough to break down at home. The 1-1 correct score has massive appeal in this one or just going under 2.5 goals.
