Barcelona will look to secure a direct place in the UEFA Champions League last 16 when they host Copenhagen in their final league-phase fixture. With qualification still not mathematically guaranteed, this clash carries high stakes for both sides, especially with Copenhagen still chasing a play-off spot.
Match Overview
- Fixture: Barcelona vs Copenhagen
- Competition: UEFA Champions League
- Venue: Estadi OlÃmpic LluÃs Companys
- Context: Final league-phase match
- Audience: Kenyan football fans and bettors
Match News and Current Form
Barcelona come into this fixture in excellent form, having won 13 of their last 14 matches across all competitions. Their recent 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo lifted them back to the top of La Liga, giving Hansi Flick’s side confidence heading into Europe.
In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona sit just outside the top eight on goal difference, meaning they still risk entering the play-offs. However, back-to-back comeback wins against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1) and Slavia Prague (4-2) have kept their last-16 hopes alive. Nine consecutive home wins across competitions underline their dominance in front of their fans, even though their only home defeat this season came against PSG in this same league phase.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, remains on the fringes of the top 24 (W2, D2, L3). The Danish champions showed strong character on matchday seven, fighting back with ten men to draw 1-1 away to Napoli. That result preserved their play-off hopes and extended a solid run that has seen them collect seven points from their last three UCL matches.
Head-to-Head Record
Barcelona are unbeaten in their two previous meetings with Copenhagen (W1, D1). At home against Danish opposition in the UCL, Barça boasts a perfect record, winning both matches 2-0.
Copenhagen, however, has struggled historically against Spanish sides, managing just one win in 16 UEFA encounters (D6, L9).
Key Stats and Trends
- Barcelona has averaged 3.3 goals per game in their last seven UCL home matches.
- Both teams scored in six of Barcelona’s seven UCL games this season.
- Four of Copenhagen’s last five UCL matches also saw both teams score.
- Nine of Copenhagen’s last 27 UCL goals arrived after the 80th minute, highlighting late-game danger.
These trends strongly suggest an open, goal-filled contest.
Key Players and Team News
Robert Lewandowski remains Barcelona’s talisman in Europe. Remarkably, Barça have won their last 14 matches when the Polish striker has scored.
Copenhagen’s threat comes from Jordan Larsson, whose three UCL goals this season have helped the Danish side stay unbeaten in those matches.
Missing players:
- Barcelona: Frenkie de Jong (suspended)
- Copenhagen: Thomas Delaney (suspended)
Barcelona vs Copenhagen Betting Prediction
