Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Magpies will try to claim a major scalp in the Conference League second qualifying round when they take on Copenhagen at Europa point stadium on Thursday evening. The Gibraltar outfit did well to shock Derry City in round 1, but they do not want to stop now. One thing is for sure, the underdogs are going to leave their hearts on the field in the first leg. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Thursday’s clash.
The Lions, on the other hand, did well to beat Lyngby in the opening match of their Danish Superliga campaign. As Copenhagen aim to get their job done in the first leg, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. Bear in mind, though, that the likes of Cornelius, Boilesen, Sander, and Bardghji missed the season opener with injuries. Talented Iceland international Orri Oskarsson should keep his place up front as a lone centre-forward.
Highlighted Team (FC Copenhagen):
