FC Copenhagen vs Galatasaray prediction 12.12.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, 12th December 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Parken Stadium (Copenhagen)

Only once in history was FC Copenhagen capable of progressing to the 1/8 final of the Champions League. They made that success in the 2010/11 season, but now FC Copenhagen could repeat it if they win on Tuesday night at Parken Stadium. The vital game versus Galatasaray is not arriving at a good moment, as FC Copenhagen won only one of the previous six games in all competitions. On Saturday, they won 2-1 on the road in the cup against Silkeborg. In the first leg, Silkeborg won 2-0, so the victory on Saturday wasn't enough for FC Copenhagen to progress to the Landspokal Cup next phase. After a bad stretch of games lately, Jacob Neestrup's team could have low confidence ahead of the game versus Galatasaray.

Galatasaray are in a similar situation to FC Copenhagen as they also need to win to progress to the next phase. Still, the Turkish team should be in a much better mood as they are without a loss in the last four matches. In the previous game, Galatasaray won 3-1 at home against Adana Demirspor. The home side had xG of 3.62 in that game, while guests had 1.07, so it is no wonder Okan Buruk's team secured another win. 

FC Copenhangen vs Galatasaray pick: Galatasaray to win AH (0)

It is not easy to win at Parken Stadium, as FC Copenhagen, for example, won 4-3 against Manchester United at home this season. The game on Tuesday should be close, but the recent form suggests that Okan Buruk's team should win versus FC Copenhagen.
