Copenhagen vs Malmo Tips & Preview - Danes set for playoff berth
- Copenhagen vs Malmo UEFA Champions League playoff tie is finely balanced after a 0-0 first leg draw.
- Both teams are coming off weekend domestic defeats, aiming to bounce back swiftly.
- Copenhagen have been strong at home, often scoring first.

Copenhagen vs Malmo
A place in the UEFA Champions League playoffs is on the line as Copenhagen welcome Malmo to Parken for the second leg of their third round qualifier.
The tie is perfectly balanced after a 0-0 draw in the first leg and both teams will be fired up coming into this clash. However, the Danes often do good work in front of their fans and should claim the upper hand here.
Copenhagen News
It was a drab encounter in the first leg as Copenhagen struggled to create much going forward, finishing without a single attempt on target. They followed up that result with their first defeat of the season, losing 3-2 at home to Aarhus in a Danish Superliga fixture last weekend.
Manager Jacob Neestrup will be targeting a swift return to winning ways, having gone unbeaten in their previous eight matches across all competitions. Copenhagen had picked up six wins on this run and claimed two straight victories before the defeat to Aarhus.
The first leg shutout would also be considered a blip as Copenhagen often show quality going forward and have scored first in four of their last six matches. However, seven of their last 12 goals have been scored after the break.
Malmo News
Despite playing at home, Malmo also struggled to get going in the first leg and could only muster one attempt on target throughout the contest. They will also head into Tuesday's clash off a defeat, losing 3-1 at Mjallby in a domestic fixture last weekend.
That result was the first defeat across all competitions for Malmo, who will be targeting a swift return to winning ways. While Henrik Rydstrom's team have won their last four away matches, a clash against Copenhagen represents a step up in quality of opponents.
Like the hosts, Malmo are often solid going forward and will consider the first leg result as a blip. They tend to leave things late and have scored nine of their last 14 goals after the break.
Head to Head
Copenhagen are unbeaten in three of the previous four matches against Malmo. Both teams battled to a 0-0 draw in last week's first leg in Sweden.
Verdict
While Malmo have done some good work on their travels, Tuesday's clash could pose a tougher challenge than some of their recent opponents. Copenhagen have won two of their last three home matches and given their record in this fixture, a home win could be on the cards.
Copenhagen have opened the scoring in four of their last six matches and could be set to grab the first goal on Tuesday. With both teams often leaving things late, the second half is tipped to produce more goals.
