Tottenham vs Copenhagen Match Prediction

Analysis and Rationale

The Londoners exhibit strong form in the Champions League and are well-positioned to extend their unbeaten run in this tournament. Furthermore, Tottenham has an impressive home record in European competitions, having remained undefeated in 21 consecutive matches (17 wins and 4 draws). Additionally, they have not lost in the Champions League group stage for their last 7 encounters (3 wins and 4 draws).

Copenhagen’s Away Form and H2H

Conversely, the Danish side has managed only 2 victories in their last 21 away matches in the main draw of this European competition (4 draws and 15 defeats). Moreover, Copenhagen has struggled against Premier League opposition: in their last 19 encounters with English teams, they have secured only 2 wins (5 draws and 12 defeats), and a dire away record of 2 draws and 7 losses. 

Final Prediction

Considering Tottenham’s formidable home record and Copenhagen’s struggles on the road and against English opponents, it is highly anticipated that the London side will emerge victorious, even if by a narrow margin. Therefore, the recommended prediction is **’Tottenham with a -1 handicap’**.
