Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Following a 3-0 win in Gibraltar, FC Copenhagen will look to record yet another triumph over Magpies when the two sides take on each other at Parken Stadium. Copenhagen are seen as hot favourites to win the second leg and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach in Thursday’s clash. The likes of Bardghji, Boilesen, Cornelius, and Sander have been struggling with injuries of late.
The underdogs, on the other hand, will try to make a miracle in Copenhagen, but seeing that Jacob Neestrup’s men are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that they are going to claim a major scalp in the Conference League second qualifying round. Magpies defender Lee Coombes is only one yellow card away from suspension, but there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Denmark.
Highlighted Team (FC Copenhagen):
The most successful club in the history of Danish football FC Kopenhagen was founded in 1992, through the merger of 15-time Danish champions Kjobenhavns Boldklub and seven-time champions of Denmark Boldklubben 1903. Football Club Copenhagen play their matches at the Telia Parken, a venue that can host 38,000 spectators.
The Team of the City as Copenhagen is called in Denmark has won the Danish football championship eleven times, while it has also won the Danish Cup on seven occasions. The club forms great rivalry with Copenhagen’s suburban club Brondby IF with games between the two club attracting some of the biggest crowds in Danish football history in this so called New Firm derby.
Through its history F.C. Copenhagen have participated in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League, while their major European accomplishments have been achieved in the Royal League, with the Danish powerhouse winning two titles and coming as runners-up on one occasion.
