Two key factors are likely to decide the outcome of this match and both favor Dortmund.

The first is FC Copenhagen’s recent form. They have gone three games without a win two in the domestic league and one in the Champions League against Qarabağ. A similar winless spell occurred in September, which raises concerns about their consistency.

The second factor is their injury situation. FC Copenhagen are missing seven players, including three key figures: captain Delaney, first-choice striker Cornelius, and influential midfielder Mattson.

Dortmund, on the other hand, have lost just once in their last 10 matches away to Bayern in the previous Bundesliga round.
