Copenhagen will host Sevilla at Parken on Wednesday night (14 September) in their second group stage game of the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League.
The Danish club have struggled recently and have lost more league games this season (five losses in nine games) than they did in the entirety of the previous campaign (four losses in 32 games).
They kicked off their continental campaign on the wrong foot, losing 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund before a 2-1 defeat to Odense BK in the Superligaen at the weekend. Copenhagen will now look to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways.
Trending
Sevilla, meanwhile, have not fared much better than their midweek opponents and find themselves 16th in the La Liga table. They also lost their first Champions League game of the season by a margin of 4-0 at home against Manchester City last week. The Andalusians, however, won their first game of the season 3-2 against Espanyol last weekend.
Julen Lopetegui's men sit rock-bottom in Group G and will look to pick up their first continental win of the season this week.
Copenhagen vs Sevilla Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Wednesday's game will mark the first meeting between Copenhagen and Sevilla.
- The hosts are winless in 12 meetings with Spanish opposition.
- The Andalusians' only matchup with Danish opposition came in the 1957-58 campaign, where they faced AGF in the last 16 of the European Cup, winning 4-2 on aggregate.
- Copenhagen have scored at least one goal in all but one of their five competitive games at home this season.
- Sevilla have not kept a clean sheet in all of their six games across competitions this season.
Copenhagen vs Sevilla Prediction
Copenhagen are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just one of their last five games across competitions, scoring just three goals. They have, however, won their last two games at home and will look to pick up a third straight home win on Wednesday.
Sevilla's latest result ended a three-game losing streak, marking just their first win of the season. They should now take confidence from their win over Espanyol and pick up maximum points against Copenhagen.
Prediction: Copenhagen 1-2 Sevilla
