How this one might play out

Copenhagen's home numbers point to a side that likes to get on the front foot early and keep the pressure on, averaging well over two goals a game at that ground recently.

Saburtalo's European results this year haven't been without quality, with that win at Jagiellonia and two draws against Champions League opposition showing they won't just sit back. But a record with as many losses as wins overall means consistency away from home is a real question.

Expect goals at one end at least, but Saburtalo's resilience against bigger names means this may not be as one-sided as the raw form suggests.
