Team News
FC Copenhagen
- Rurik Gislason, Daniel Braaten and Nicolai Jorgensen have all missed recent league matches.
- Christian Bolanos may come in for the former on the right wing, with the defence remaining unchanged once again.
- Igor Vetokele could earn only his second start in the competition despite being the side's top scorer in the league.
Real Madrid
- Luka Modric is back available having missed the match with Galatasaray through suspension but Sergio Ramos was sent off in that match and will miss this final group game.
- Gareth Bale missed the cup game at the weekend with flu but should be back available, while there may also be a return for Cristiano Ronaldo who has missed out of late with a thigh injury.
- Xabi Alonso should also be fit having been rested at the weekend so as not to aggravate his injury problems on an artificial pitch.

Prediction
- Real Madrid have already secured top spot in the group whereas Copenhagen, despite sitting bottom, can still qualify with a win if Juventus and Galatasaray were to draw.
- The Danes will need to go for this one in turn, but they won't be rushed into anything, likely to try to keep the game in the balance until late on in the second half before pushing for the win.
- With the likes of Ronaldo and Bale returning, however, Real Madrid certainly have too much firepower in attacking areas to be kept at bay for the entire match.
