FC Copenhagen claimed the Danish Superliga title last season and the Byens Hold have made a fine start to their defence, winning their opening three matches so far.

Ståle Solbakken will now be hopeful of guiding his side to the group stages of the Champions League and have managed a decent 1-1 draw against Romanian outfit FC Astra Giurgiu in the first leg of the third round stage of the qualifiers.

Copenhagen will need to get the job done in the second leg at home with a victory and doing so over the solid Romanians is surely not going to be an easy task for the Danes.

FC Astra Giurgiu Match Betting News

FC Astra Giurgiu managed their first ever title triumph in their 95-year long history last season and the club competing for a place in the Champions League seems like an achievement in itself.

That being said, the Dracii Negri will be determined to make it into the group stages of the Champions League proper and they managed a commendable 1-1 draw at home in the first leg of the third round qualifiers against FC Copenhagen last week.

Heading into the second leg in Denmark, Astra will know that they are at a slight disadvantage due to the concession of the away goal but Marius Șumudică’s side should be quietly confident of turning things around.

FC Copenhagen vs FC Astra Giurgiu Match Prediction

Astra have proven themselves to be a very difficult side to play against and Copenhagen certainly experienced this in the first leg.

As a result, Copenhagen will have to put in a very efficient performance in order to see off Astra in the return leg in Denmark and if they do so, a home victory is likely to be on the cards.
