Breidablik – FC Copenhagen : Preview & Prediction
Icelandic club Breidablik have inherited a tough test in the form of FC Copenhagen in this quarter-final qualifier for the Champions League group stage. Olsen’s team are not favourites against the Danes, who are only 3rd in their league. Breidablik, however, are still on a fine run of form, with 5 wins to date against Fylkir (5-1), Fram (0-1) and Vestmannaeyjar (3-1) in Besta Deild Karla, followed by a double-header against Ireland’s Shamrock Rovers (0-1 and 2-1) in the 1/8th round of qualifying for the group phase of next year’s UEFA Champions League. FC Copenhagen, for their part, are unbeaten in official competition for 6 matches (5 wins and 1 draw), and the Superliga co-leader kicked off the new 2023-2024 season with 1 win at Lyngby (1-2) on Matchday 1 at the weekend. Neestrup’s Champions League regulars knocked out Schalke 04 (2-0) in a friendly on July 11, and are determined to pull off the perfect coup at Kopavogsvollur on Icelandic soil. Can FC Copenghague string together a 5th consecutive away win in official competition? All the signs seem to be green for Karamoko’s team-mates.
