As Qarabag FK won their first-ever Champions League match 3-2, this Copenhagen team had a massive draw against Leverkusen. This will be the first time ever these two units play, and it should be one that won’t be forgotten.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Qarabag Preview

As Qarabag FK have shown to be the underdogs throughout this tournament, they will hope to prove it one more time in a vital matchup. With Camilo Marques showing his potential as a young striker full of pace, he has been someone who recently took this side by storm due to his ability to play under pressure. 

Having a goal plus an assist during his last match, he received four progression passes, which let him create pressure ahead and create a partnership with Musa Qurbanly towards the end. In the middle, Patrick Andrade, will get the start once again as he was rested once again, while Leandro Andrade has remained very key to this side. 

Creating two chances that went for goal, he also had an assist that helped them take a 3-2 lead in this match. With Marko Janovich being a key piece of the bench, their main two-way midfielder remains Abdellah Zoubir due to his ability to force many dribblers to go in another direction. 

Qarabag FK Probable Starting Lineup - Matheus Kochalski(GK), Matheus Silva(D), Kevin Medina(D), Samy Mmaee(D), Joni Montiel(MD), Abdellah Zoubir(MD), Leonardo Andrade(MD), Patrick Andrade(MD), Emmanuel Addai(FW), Nariman Akhundzade(FW), Musa Qurbanly(FW), Camilo Marques(FW).

F.C. Copenhagen Preview

For Copenhagen, this is a big match for them as well because they really showed a lot of promise during their first match and look to build on that. With Elias Achouri having one assist last match, alongside his multiple progression passes, this is one of the most underrated passing threats that defenders will have to keep their eye out for. 

With Youssofa Moukoko getting 5 progression passes and turning them into chances last match, there should be more reliance on him having easy one-on-one opportunities again. Seeing that Jordan Larsson, one goal last match, is their best shooter up there, he will fire away from anywhere and be able to get shots on target. 

In the middle, Victor Claesson had three progression passes in their last match and should continue building up an attack, while Thomas Delaney also built pressure with his two that landed right in the box. 

Copenhagen Probabale Starting Lineup - 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).
