Barcelona vs FC Copenhagen Prediction & Betting Tips (28 January)

Barça got back into good shape by beating Slavia Prague last week 2-4 in complicated weather conditions. A success which allows Hansi Flick's men to relaunch themselves first of all following the defeat suffered in the league a few days earlier on the pitch of Real Sociedad 2-1 but also in the race for the top 8 by being 9th with 13 points, the equal of a certain 8th Chelsea against whom they sank at Stamford Bridge at the end of November in a 3-0 defeat. To mention the other results in this Champions League campaign, at home, the Blaugrana extinguished Olympiakos victory 6-1 and Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1. On the other hand, at the beginning of October, Barcelona lost against an second team from Paris-SG 1-2. On the road, there was a misstep which was avoidable on the side of Club Bruges 3-3. Last weekend, Barça played at home against the bottom of La Liga, Real Oviedo, result to come. On the other side of the median, we find Copenhagen, virtually eliminated from the Champions League despite their 8 points, equal to Olympiakos, last qualified for the play-offs. We must score at least 1 point this evening at the Camp Nou for the Danes if they wish to move up a few ranks, all while hoping for missteps from Napoli or Olympiakos at the same time.

Last week, the Lions managed to keep the Neapolitans 1-1, although victory would have been preferable to move ahead in the standings but a quick exclusion in the first half reduced the chances of victory. It should be noted that the race for the round of 16 was relaunched thanks to the somewhat unexpected success on the Villarreal pitch in December 2-3, which itself followed a fine victory at home against Kairat Almaty 3-2. Apart from that, away from home, Copenhagen defeated Tottenham 4-0 and Qarabag 2-0. There is also a defeat at home for the coming of Dortmund 2-4. No championship last weekend for the visiting team, in combat gear as part of a friendly against B.93 result to come. 

It's official, Marc-André ter Stegen has been kindly pushed out via a loan to Girona in view of the total bloom of Joan Garcia in the cages. Let us also remember the arrival of Joao Cancelo but the latter is not yet eligible to play in the Champions League. Defender Christensen and midfielder Gavi are still injured and recently joined by the unfortunate Pedri, who was injured against Slavia Prague last week. Absent against Prague due to a suspension, Lamine Yamal should be there today. Conversely, midfielder Frenkie de Jong will serve a suspension for accumulation of yellow cards. Ferran Torres (11 goals in La Liga) was injured for Prague and highly doubtful for today. Author of a double against Slavia Prague, Fermin Lopez is now at 10 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season with Barça (5 goals in C1). Decisive passer on Lewandowski's first goal in this Champions League, Mr.

Rashford continues to be decisive with the Culers (4 goals, 3 assists in C1 only).   At Copenhagen, the injured Matsson and Mexican full-back Huescas will most likely be missing. The promising Myrie (defender, winter recruit) and West (attacker) are not qualified. Note also the heavy loss during the transfer window in the person of Lerager (ex-Bordeaux) while the experienced Delaney, excluded against Napoli last week, will serve his suspension. The precious Mohamed Elyounoussi (4 goals, 5 assists in the league) will be traveling to Catalonia like Jordan Larsson (5 goals, 2 assists in the league), scorer for the 3rd time in C1 against Napoli (qualifying matches included). Tunisian international Elias Achouri (3 goals in the league) will also be there.
