Get ready for the return leg of the Champions League Play-offs between Trabzonspor and København. This should be an interesting match and this preview contains everything you need to know. Read on!
It's quite the trip for København when visiting Trabzonspor as the cities are 3600 kilometers apart.
Not a lot of time to rest for the team playing at home, as they were involved in a Super Lig game only four days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Antalyaspor.

"Man of the match" Biel scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 22 successful passes (of 24 total).
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the København manager Thorup as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Nordsjælland.
København create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 8 goals in 3 travels. København's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
