For the first time ever, Tottenham Hotspur will face FC Copenhagen. This is only Spurs' second-ever match against a Danish team, while Copenhagen have a tough history against English clubs, with just two wins in 19 attempts.
That task becomes even more daunting away from home, where Copenhagen have never won in England, losing on seven of their nine visits.
Tactical Angles & Form Guide:
Spurs' European Consistency: Tottenham are on a solid nine-match unbeaten run in European competition, though they've drawn their last two, highlighting a need for more decisive results.
Copenhagen's Defensive Woes: The Danish side have conceded two or more goals in each of their last five UCL matches, a vulnerability that Spurs' attack will look to exploit.
The Manager Narrative: Spurs boss Thomas Frank will have a reunion with Danish football, having faced Copenhagen eight times during his tenure at Brøndby.
Players to Watch: Keep an eye on Copenhagen's teenage sensation Viktor Dadason, who became the youngest debutant scorer in UCL history. For Tottenham, right-back Pedro Porro is the key to unlocking defenses, leading his team in progressive passes and chance creation.
