Prediction: 0-0
Atalanta Bergamo
Despite creating several clear-cut chances to score, Atalanta eventually failed to beat Copenhagen in Bergamo in the Europa League play-off, first leg. The Orobici, though, are still in a good position to book their place in the group stages of the European competition, but they need to score an away goal in the return leg if they are to meet the goal. Nonetheless, seeing that the Danish side are undefeated in previous seven games in the Europa League and considering that they are tough to beat at home, we predict that the two teams are going to play yet another goalless draw in this tie. A man to watch in the home team will be former Ajax midfielder Fisher, whilst Copenhagen defenders should have Atalanta playmaker Papu Gomez at bay. Anyhow, we believe that the game will go into extra-time.

After spending three seasons at Lyngby, Bjelland joined yet another Danish outfit Nordsjaelland in 2009 and he went on to make a total of 72 appearances for the Wild Tigers. On 6 November, 2011, Bjelland signed a four-year deal with Twente but he made no more than 14 appearances for the club on his debut season due to injury. After spending six months on the sidelines with a broken metatarsal, Bjelland returned to contention and he came back fit for the 2013/2014 Eredivisie campaign. The Danish defender played in 33 games for Twente in the 2013/2014 season, while making 26 appearances for the club in his last season (2014/2015) at De Grolsch Veste. On 2 July, 2015, the highly rated centre-back joined Championship side Brentford and he has been playing for the Bees ever since. The Danish footballer, though, suffered a groin injury in pre-season and, as a result, he did not make his Brentford debut in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign.
