FC Copenhagen vs Drita Prediction & Betting Tips (22 July)

Champion of Denmark in reigning, Copenhagen clearly has the ambition to return to the Champions League as it was the case during the 2023-24 season with an excellent course that had stopped at the Stade des Eighths de finale, swept by the title holder that year, Manchester City. The Danes did not need to go through the first round following their coronation in the championship, championship which will also have resumed last weekend via a trip to the lawn of Viborg to come. Unlike the Danes, Drita had to compose with a first qualification round, very well negotiated with the victory in the first leg 1-0 and on the return 2-3 against the Luxembourgers of Differdange.

As a reminder, the Kosovar championship closed its doors and Drita finished national champion and participated in two preparation friendly, including a great victory against Farul Constanta 1-3 and a draw against Sileks 2-2. 

Within this Copenhagen training, we can mention the departures of Kevin Diks (Borussia Mönchengladbach), the Israeli Vavro (Wolfsburg) and the 19 -year -old Crack Roony Bardghji (FC Barcelona). In the recruitment department, the club released the checkbook to sign the porter Kotarski, the young midfielder Dominik Sarapata, the disappointing Moukoko (ex-nice/Dortmund) and Pantelis Hatzidiakos. Already at the club last season, Mohamed Elyounoussi (8 goals, 7 assists), Jordan Larsson (8 goals, 2 assists), Viktor Claesson (6 goals, 4 assists) and the middle Delaney (ex-Séville) will be a priori all available to the coach today. Opposite, Drita should deal without Eron Isupi, a replacement guard.

It is ultimately the only major absence to notify for the Kosovars who will be able to count on the man of the first round: Arb Manaj, author of a double in Luxembourg and a goal at home in the first leg, the only one of the meeting. This is not the only threat to monitor since the international Hope Local Tusha (6 league goals last season) will be very trip alongside Albert Dabiqaj (10 championship pawns last season) and Krasniqi (10 goals).
