Unbeaten Tottenham Eyes Three Points Against Copenhagen at Home
Despite sitting in 15th place in the UEFA Champions League Phase after Round 3, Tottenham is among the only eight teams yet to lose a game so far. The Spurs tournament run consists of an opening day home win to Villarreal, followed by two away draws against Bodo/Glimt and AS Monaco.
Now Tottenham hopes to muster another home win against a travelling Copenhagen side that's lost its last two Champions League games by two goals. See our football expert’s best Tottenham vs Copenhagen prediction today. But while the Spurs are the heavy favorites in this game, their recent form hints at a potential struggle in this matchup.
Tottenham have now lost back-to-back games to Chelsea and Newcastle, and have only tasted victory once in their last five games. The overall season so far for the Spurs has also been challenging, as they've racked up only three wins in their last ten games.
In all fairness, Tottenham’s lackluster form can be attributed to their injury woes, which have seen over seven first-team players sidelined for months. Against a Copenhagen side that's hungry for points, this Tottenham side might just let up more points.
Desperate Copenhagen Scramble For Points To Keep Champions League Hopes Alive
If there's one thing to expect, it's an all-out attacking play from Copenhagen, who sit at 32nd, with their Champions League hopes gradually slipping away. It's been a majorly defensive struggle for Copenhagen in the tournament so far, as they've conceded 2+ goals in each of their three games.
They opened with a well-contested 2-2 away draw to Bayer 04 Leverkusen. But they failed to build up from there, as that performance was followed by a 2-0 away loss to Qarabag, then a 4-2 home loss to Borussia Dortmund, which was in line with our football predictions.
This also follows a worrying trend for the Danish side, as they've won only one of the four away games in the Champions League this season, when including their qualification games. That single win was a 1-0 victory against a 10-man FC Drita side, which is significantly weaker than Copenhagen.
However, it's worth pointing out that Copenhagen has been silently building momentum with back-to-back wins that have seen them score seven goals. Copenhagen beat Hobro 4-1 away, then proceeded to take a 3-2 home win over FC Fredericia in their latest game. Their defensive problems still loom, so outscoring Tottenham might be Copenhagen's best bet in this fierce Round 4 clash.
