FC Copenhagen begin their Champions League qualification campaign in the quarter-finals against Drita, following a string of preseason friendlies as they gear up for the new Danish Superliga season.

The Danish champions have had a mixed run in preparation, with a win over Hamburger SV and draws against Ludogorets and Fredericia.

Meanwhile, Drita arrive with strong momentum, having edged past Differdange over two legs and notched a confident friendly win against Farul Constanța.

While FC Copenhagen enter as clear favorites due to their higher pedigree and home advantage, Drita have shown resilience and attacking flair that could pose a challenge in this first-leg encounter.
