Tottenham are back in action at home as they welcome Copenhagen for what should be a lively Champions League night in London. Spurs are looking to bounce back from a rough patch in Europe, while the Danish side aims to keep their knockout hopes alive with another big upset.
The match promises goals, intensity, and some tactical chess from both managers. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of kickoff.
Form Guide
Tottenham’s form has been a bit all over the place recently. They’ve shown flashes of brilliance in attack, but defensive lapses keep costing them points. In their last five games, they’ve managed two wins, one draw, and two losses — not exactly title-challenger form.
Copenhagen, on the other hand, have been quietly solid. They sit comfortably in their domestic league and have been no pushovers in Europe either. Their recent record reads three wins, one draw, and one loss — steady and confident.
Head-to-Head Record
These two sides don’t share much history. Their last Champions League meeting ended in a tense draw, with both teams having chances to win it late on. Tottenham will look to make their home advantage count this time, especially after being held in Denmark earlier in the campaign.
Team News
For Tottenham, there are still a few concerns. The defense could be shuffled again with injuries to key players, and the manager might rotate a bit after a tiring weekend fixture. Expect Son Heung-min and Maddison to start, but some fringe players might get a chance too.
Copenhagen arrive with a mostly fit squad, though a couple of midfielders are doubtful. Their coach will likely stick with the same compact setup that frustrated Spurs in the reverse fixture.
Prediction
This one’s tricky to call. Spurs are at home and will push hard for a win, but Copenhagen are no strangers to grinding out results on tough away trips. Tottenham’s attack should have enough quality to edge it, but it might not be comfortable.
Predicted Score: Tottenham 2–1 Copenhagen

Wrap-Up
Tottenham need this win to stay in control of their Champions League group, but Copenhagen won’t make it easy. The Danes have proven they can mix it with the big boys, so Spurs will have to bring their A-game. Expect goals, drama, and maybe a few nervous moments for the home fans.
Final Thought: Spurs should edge it, but don’t be shocked if Copenhagen sneak a late one — they’ve done it before.
