"Dortmund travel to Parken hoping to bounce back from their defeat to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga at the weekend. Kovac's side are seventh in the 36-team league standings after collecting four points from their first two games, beating Athletic Bilbao 4-1 in their last European fixture. Dortmund have only lost one of their eight Champions League matches under Kovac (W4 D3), who replaced Nuri Sahin back in January."
"But Dortmund head into a testing period of fixtures, with their tie against Copenhagen the second of six away matches between last weekend and November 8. And given the extensive travel his squad will endure over this period, Kovac insisted that all of his squad will be needed to ensure momentum is maintained. "Five of our next six games are away games. That means we'll be travelling a lot, of course," Kovac told reporters."
"This will be the fourth time Dortmund have faced a Danish team away from home in Europe, while they are unbeaten in the previous three (W1 D2). The only one that came in the Champions League was a 1-1 draw away to Copenhagen in the 2022-23 group stage. And having done so in each of their last three European games, BVB could score three or more goals in four consecutive games for the first time in their European Cup/Champions League history."
Borussia Dortmund travel to Copenhagen aiming to respond to a weekend Bundesliga defeat and to build on a 4-1 European win over Athletic Bilbao. The team sit seventh in the 36-team league after collecting four points from two games. Dortmund have lost only one of eight Champions League matches since January under the current manager (W4 D3), representing a 13% loss rate among managers with at least two games. A demanding fixtures run includes five of the next six away matches, requiring squad rotation and extensive travel to preserve momentum. The side are unbeaten in three previous away European matches against Danish opposition and could equal a club record by scoring three or more goals in four consecutive European games; securing early points in the group is a primary objective after last season's play-off finish.
