The two teams have faced each other three times so far, the first time in a friendly match in 2016 ended with the victory of FC Copenhagen with 1-0, and the other two confrontations took place in the Europa League groups in 2019, and then the first leg in Sweden ended in a draw, score 1-1, and the return match was won by Malmo with 1-0, both teams qualifying further.

Malmo FF:
Malmo FF, the Swedish champions from last season, have a ten-game unbeaten streak and seven consecutive wins in their last seven games. However, they have not had a great start to the season and are currently in fourth place in Sweden, ten points behind surprise leaders Mjallby. In the Champions League qualifiers, Malmo have had no problems so far, winning four of their four games against Iberia 1999 and RFS. Last season, Malmo FF were eliminated in the Champions League play-offs by Sparta Prague, losing both games with the same score of 2-0.
FC Copenhagen:
On the other hand, FC Copenhagen is also going through a good moment with six consecutive victories in the last six games and hopes to reach the Champions League groups again. Although they won both matches in the 2nd preliminary round of the Champions League, on Drita, 2-0 at home and 1-0 away, the matches were not easy at all, but the qualification remains. Copenhagen is making a huge leap compared to last season when they played in the Conference League, where they made a beautiful figure, being eliminated in the round of 16 by the winner of the competition, Chelsea. Two seasons ago, FC Copenhagen played in the last edition of the Champions League with groups, after last season the format changed and there was only one group and eight matches, four at home and four away.
