Copenhagen will have been delighted with coming home from Belgrade with a 1-1 draw in the first leg of this Champions League tie. They went 1-0 down to Red Star Belgrade with the goal coming a minute before half-time. Copenhagen got themselves back into the tie with a goal from a penalty six minutes from time scored by Jonas Wind. That equalizer totally changes the complexion of this tie with Red Star having to score in this second leg. They are in great form at present and they top the Danish league having won all five of their games this season. Home form is looking good with only one loss in the last 14 played. In the Champions League, Copenhagen have won their last three with one defeat in the last ten.

Red Star Belgrade reached the group stages last season. They finished bottom in a group that also contained Liverpool, PSG and Napoli. Red Star did have some good home results,including beating Liverpool so they will have been disappointed not to win the home leg of this tie. They are third in their domestic league but have a game in hand on the leaders and have won all three of their matches. Red Star have only won one of their last six away games. In the Champions League this season, Red Star have beaten Suduva and HJK but struggled in both and have only won two of their five games this season. Away form is a worry because they have no wins in six with four defeats. Go for Copenhagen to get the home win in this match.
