Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Viborg, FC Copenhagen will look to return to winning ways when they take on Kilmarnock in the Conference League playoffs, first leg. Copenhagen are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but the Scotts should not be written off just yet. The likes of Bardghji, Boilesen, Claesson, Cornelius, and Huescas have been struggling with injuries of late as well as experienced midfielder Thomas Delaney. There are no suspended players in the home team.
Kilmarnock, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Scottish League Cup loss to Motherwell. Derek McInnes’ men are not considered good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Copenhagen’s party at Parken Stadium. Kilmarnock defender Stuart Findlay should be cautious in the first leg as the 28-year-old is only one yellow card away from suspension.
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.
