Zvezda's record over the same length of run reads 13 wins, three draws and four losses, with 43 goals for and 18 against. Two of those losses came in Champions League qualifying against Hapoel Beer Sheva, which is why they've ended up in this competition. Domestically they've generally looked comfortable, especially at home.

Copenhagen's numbers are eye-catching, but the sample includes cup and Conference League games as well as league form, so it's not a straight comparison with Zvezda's mostly domestic results.

Comparative Team Statistics: FK Crvena Zvezda vs FC Copenhagen

History: not much recent head-to-head to go on

These two have only met twice in the available record, both back in the 2019 Champions League group stage, ending 2-2 and 1-1. That's seven years ago now, with different squads and circumstances, so it doesn't tell us much about how either side sits today.

Team news: Copenhagen's attacking names stand out

Robert leads Copenhagen's scoring with four goals in six matches, with Cornelius and Elyounoussi both on three apiece. Elyounoussi has also added three assists, while Emil Madsen has two goals and two assists, so the threat looks spread around rather than resting on one player.

FC Copenhagen:

Best scorers:

Robert - 4

A. Cornelius - 3

M. Elyounoussi - 3

Best assist providers:

M. Elyounoussi - 3

A. Cornelius - 2

M. Emil Madsen - 2

Penalty cards:

J. Suzuki x 1 x 1

Suzuki has picked up a yellow and a red card in five matches, which is worth watching if he's involved again. There's no equivalent squad information available for Zvezda in this batch of data, so we can't say much about their personnel situation.

How this could play out

Copenhagen's goals have flowed freely lately, and they've scored in almost every fixture in this sample. Zvezda have generally kept things tighter at home domestically, though their two heaviest setbacks in this run both came away from home in Europe against Hapoel Beer Sheva.

If Zvezda's home solidity holds up and Copenhagen's attack turns up the way it has recently, goals at both ends wouldn't be a shock. Zvezda's control at home will be tested by a side that's rarely gone more than a match or two without finding the net.
