The third qualifying round in the 2025-26 Champions League gets underway at Eleda Stadion on Tuesday when Malmo host Copenhagen. The winner of this tie between Di Blae and Byens Hold will progress to the Playoff round, while the losers will be transferred to the Europa League. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Malmo reached the playoff qualifying round of Europe’s elite club competition last season and has not reached the main draw of this competition since the 2021-22 campaign.
The Blues have been excellent in these qualifiers so far, winning all four matches to date. They beat Iberia and RFS 6-2 and 5-1 on aggregate in the last two rounds, respectively.
The hosts are on a four-match win streak at home across all competitions and scored three or more goals in all but one of those matches.
Meanwhile, Copenhagen are back in Champions League qualifying after missing out last season. They reached the round of 16 in this competition back in the 2023-24 edition.
The Lions entered the competition in the last round and produced a dominant performance against Drita, beating them 2-0 at home and 1-0 on the road.
The visitors have won all five of their matches across all competitions this season and only conceded in one of those games.
