The Blues made easy work of the revamped league phase, winning all six matches to top the standings and avoid a two-legged play-off tie in the process.
However, the Blues have struggled notably on the road of late, losing their last four away matches in a row across all competition with their last success outside of London coming against Astana back in December.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, lost at home to Heidenheim in the first leg of their knockout play-off tie but produced an impressive comeback in the return fixture to progress after extra time and set up a clash against Chelsea.
Date, kick-off time and venue

Copenhagen vs Chelsea prediction
Chelsea are expected to get through the tie, but this first leg looks a tricky fixture to navigate because of their away form. Copenhagen beat Manchester United at home in the Champions League last season, so they can’t be taken lightly.
The Danes are a step up in quality compared to what the Blues have faced so far in the competition and a rotated side could very well come unstuck, especially away from home.
