The 1-1 draw in the first leg leaves everything still to play for: of course, Copenhagen have a slight advantage over Basel, partly due to home advantage. Last week in Switzerland, the Danes put in a capital performance, and on Wednesday evening they may also be helped by a statistic that must necessarily be taken into account.
Basel, in fact, has won only one game in six previous matches against Danish teams: two draws and three losses in total. Copenhagen, on the other hand, is undefeated against Swiss teams: two wins and one draw. In short, this proves that the Northern European league is certainly more competitive than the Swiss one. A fact, in a nutshell. In short, the reigning Danish champions have an excellent chance of qualifying for the Champions League group stage, a qualification that is well within reach for a team that has had four consecutive positive results and will therefore continue not to lose.

The prediction
Copenhagen will win and qualify for the Champions League group stage. The match in question should also produce at least three goals in total. Yes, because Basel should also manage to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes.
