Copenhagen [LLWWD] arrive in Spain still clinging to faint hopes of extending their European journey. The Danish champions sit 26th with eight points [2W, 2D, 3L], outside the top 24 on goal difference, but showed admirable resilience last time out by fighting back with ten men to draw 1-1 against Napoli. That result extended their unbeaten UCL run to three matches [2W, 1D, 0L], equalling their longest streak without defeat in the competition proper. Although the Løverne have won just one of their last 16 UEFA matches against Spanish sides [1W, 6D, 9L], that sole success came in their most recent such encounter—a 3-2 away win at Villarreal. Thomas Delaney is suspended, while Magnus Mattsson and Rodrigo Huescas are ruled out. Jacob Neestrup may deploy a 4—4—2 formation with Andreas Cornelius and Viktor Daðason in the frontline.
