Copenhagen Preview – Can Copenhagen overhaul 1-goal deficit?
It’s been a long time between legs in this Europa League clash as Copenhagen try to overhaul the 1-goal deficit after a 1-0 defeat in Turkey at Istanbul Basaksehir back in mid-March just before the lockdown was imposed and the competition put on hold.
Earlier, Copenhagen had finished runners-up in Group B behind group winners, Malmo, following just one defeat throughout the group stage which came in their final match in a 1-0 defeat at home to Malmo, but the Danish outfit had done enough to secure their place in the knockout rounds by then, having won home and away against Lugano and picking up points in draws with Malmo and Dynamo Kiev (home and away), all ending in 1-1 draws.
On the domestic front, Copenhagen finished runners-up in the Superleague but some nine points behind the title-winners, Midtjylland, while results at home towards the end of the campaign were a bit sketchy, winning one of their last four matches, but 10 of Copenhagen’s last 14 matches resulted in both teams scoring.
Basaksehir Preview – Can Basaksehir hold on?
Turkish outfit, Istanbul Basaksehir, will travel to Copenhagen on Wednesday night for this decisive 2nd leg looking to hold onto their slender 1-goal advantage and progress through to the quarter-finals stage where they’ll more than likely be up against Manchester United.
However, Basaksehir must first complete thew job against Copenhagen at the Telia Parken which may present their own problems, especially as Basaksehir have lost their last two away matches on the trot in the Turkish Super Lig.
Earlier in the competition, Basaksehir had emerged as winners from a tough group comprising of the likes of Roma, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Wolfsberger which was helped by winning two of their three away matches with wins at Wolfsberger and ‘Gladbach, but the visitors will always give their opponents a chance on the road as seven of Basaksehir’s last nine away matches in all competitions have seen both teams score.
