Correct score prediction: Copenhagen 1-3 Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund came up short against a formidable Bayern Munich side over the weekend, but despite suffering their first competitive defeat of the season, the German side remain huge favourites.
Copenhagen are facing a real injury crisis at the moment, and they have already shown serious defensive vulnerabilities at domestic level. With that in mind, Dortmund could make the scoreline look rather ugly.

- Draw: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- Away: 91/100 (1.91) – 52.4%
