Copenhagen vs Drita: UEFA Champions League Prediction (23.07.2025)

On July 23, 2025 at 00:00 WIB, Copenhagen will face Drita in the quarterfinal stage of the UEFA Champions League qualification. Bookmakers consider the home side the clear favorite. The odds for a Copenhagen win are 1.08, while Drita’s victory is priced at 26.00. A draw is being offered at 11.00. But is it really that straightforward? Let’s assess the current form of both teams and present our prediction.

Copenhagen

Copenhagen enter the new season as domestic double winners. They claimed the league title, edging out Midtjylland by just one point, and comfortably beat Silkeborg 3–0 in the Danish Cup final.

The club had an active preseason, playing four friendly matches against solid opponents, including Ludogorets, Sparta Prague, and Hamburg. Copenhagen have also already kicked off their league campaign, playing Viborg on Friday, July 18 in the opening round.

Notably, the Danish side has extensive experience in European competitions. Last season, they participated in the UEFA Europa League, reaching the playoffs before being knocked out by the eventual champions, Chelsea.

Drita

At the moment, Drita are by far the strongest team in Kosovo. They won the domestic league last season with a 12-point margin over the runners-up. However, their results on the European stage remain modest. Last summer, Drita came close to reaching the main stage of the UEFA Conference League but were eliminated in the final qualification round by Legia Warsaw (0–3 on aggregate).

It should be noted that Drita benefited from a relatively easy path to that stage, having defeated Auda (Latvia) and Breidablik (Iceland) in earlier rounds. In this Champions League qualification campaign, Drita also began with a win in the first round — though it came against modest Differdange from Luxembourg.

Prediction

For the Copenhagen vs Drita match, we predict a high-scoring game. The gap in quality between the two teams is evident. The home side will likely try to capitalize on their theoretical advantage and assert dominance from the very start. A good betting option could be a goal scored between the 1st and 15th minute, offered at odds of 2.47.
