Champions League group G leaders Leicester City will travel to Copenhagen knowing that a win would definitely see them trough to the next stage, while a draw would virtually be enough as well.
Copenhagen is having a fantastic season, losing a single game out of 25 matches in all competitions. The only loss was two weeks ago away at Leicester, but Copenhagen played very well in the 0-1 defeat. The team bounced back in style, winning the next 3 matches in Denmark with an aggregate score of 12-2. Copenhagen`s quality and form allowed them to get some good results in the Champions League and they have a real chance of progressing, being tied for the second place with Porto – both teams having 4 points.
Leicester has been shaky in the Premier League this season, but they performed much better in Europe. Claudiu Ranieri admitted that his main focus is the Champions League and results are backing up his statements. The Foxes won all 3 matches in Group G and are virtually qualified, but they would also love to claim the first place. Leicester is on the back of a 1-1 draw away at Tottenham and is undefeated in the last 3 games in all competitions.

Amankwaa is out for Copenhagen, while Boilesen and Kadrii are questionable. Leicester continues to miss Mendy and there are doubts over Slimani as well. However, Ranieri said that he expects Slimani to play.
Copenhagen: Olsen – Ankersen, Johansson, Zanka, Augustinsson – Verbic, Delaney, Kvist, Toutouh – Santander, Cornelius
Leicester City: Schmeichel – Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs – Albrighton, Drinkwater, King, Mahrez – Slimani, Vardy
Leicester hasn`t been exactly brilliant in this group, but they did what was needed and claimed maximum points. I can see Ranieri’s men doing just what is needed again today and that would be a draw. A point in Copenhagen would virtually see Leicester trough, while also giving them a great chance to finish first.
There`s no point in taking risks for the Foxes, but even if they would want to, winning in Copenhagen would be a very, very difficult task.
The hosts are really solid, lost just once in 25 games this season and gave Leicester a hell of a fight two weeks ago in England, showing that they aren`t far away from the Foxes in terms of quality. Copenhagen should not lose this at home, but on the other hand I do think Leicester is good enough and pragmatic enough to not lose either.
In the end, a draw would probably satisfy everyone, Copanhagen won`t be too upset, especially as they will play against Porto at home for the 2nd place. My tip is a draw and I really like this bet, so I`m investing a bit higher stakes than I usually do on draws. Prediction: FC Copenhagen – Leicester City 1-1.
