Qarabag vs Copenhagen prediction

In their opening game of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League campaign, Qarabag pulled off a major upset to defeat Portuguese giants Benfica by three goals to two at Estadio da Luz, courtesy of goals from Leandro Andrade, Camilo Duran and Oleksandr Kushchuk.

They now face a Copenhagen side that have perhaps surprisingly returned to the league phase of the UEFA Champions League, too. The Danish giants began their campaign with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen at the Parken Stadion in which they had been 1-0 and 2-1 up.

Copenhagen head to Azerbaijan with a bit of confidence from that game, and they take on a Qarabag side that are pretty much always good to watch from the perspective of a neutral.
