TEAMS PREVIEW

F.C. Copenhagen Preview

As Copenhagen are coming off a very tough start to this tournament, they will be looking to change things around in a more winnable matchup. Seeing that Elias Achouri, one assist, has already demonstrated his ability as a key dual-threat with 8 progression passes. 

Someone who has a real talent in passing the ball inside, he creates a great duo with Youssoufa Mukoko, as the German international has already produced 6 shooting opportunities. Knowing that Jordan Larsson has finished a goal as well, their main midfielding piece remains Marcos Lopez, 11 progression passes, as he can move the ball forward from any part of the field. 

Someone who is very aggressive and makes tons of great deep runs, he will gain support with Lukas Lerager, 9 passes leading to chances, while Thomas Delaney continues being another player building pressure. On defense, Gabriel Periera, 5 interceptions, and Rodrigo Huescas should continue helping goalie Dominik Kotarski. 

Copenhagen Projected Playing 11 - Dominik Kotarski(GK), Rodrigo Huescas(D), Pantelis Hatzidiakos(D), Gabriel Pereira(D), Marcos Lopez(D), Viktor Claesson(MD), Lukas Lerager(MD), Thomas Delaney(MD), Jordan Larsson(FW), Youssoufa Moukoko(FW), Elias Achouri(FW)

Borussia Dortmund Preview

For Dortmund, this match is more about clearing their name as top contenders and making another deep run. A unit that has Serhou Guissary, one goal with two assists, he has already proven his worth near the net, while creating chances that let others dominate too. 

Being very fast and progressive in his attacks, this is someone looking to fill up the stat sheet once again after a very successful 2024-25 campaign and should be relied upon for key passing opportunities, while Karim Adeyemi, 12 progression passes received, has been another player that’s produced near the net. 

Although he still doesn’t get the tag of being their top offensive unit, this is someone that’s created one goal and two assists, while Daniel Sevensson has also struck in a goal from the middle. At the back end, Julian Ryerson and Waldemar Anton should protect Gregor Kobel in net. 

Dortmund Probable Starting Lineup - Gregor Kobel(GK), Julian Ryerson(D), Waldemar Anton(D), Ramy Bensebaini(D), Yan Bueno Couto(D), Marcel Sabitzer(MD), Felix Nmecha(MD), Daniel Sevensson(MD), Karim Adeyemi(MD), Serhou Guissary(FW), Maximilian Beier(FW)
