[Conference League] Copenhagen vs Magpies - The teams are in different weight classes. Copenhagen has more European experience, plays at home, and has better players.
The Danish side failed to clinch the Superliga title last season, breaking their streak of two consecutive championships. Copenhagen finished third, accumulating 59 points, just four points behind the Superliga leader. As a result, Copenhagen must now compete in the UEFA Conference League qualifications. In the first round, they faced an easy opponent, whom they defeated 3-0 away.
Overall, Copenhagen is a seasoned European campaigner; last season, they outperformed Manchester United and played in the UEFA Champions League playoffs. Additionally, Copenhagen has started the new Danish Superliga season strongly, winning their first two matches and sitting atop the standings with six points. In terms of form, Copenhagen is solid, having won four and drawn one of their last five matches.
The team also finished third in their domestic league. Last season in the Gibraltar National League, Magpies amassed 46 points, trailing the leader by 11 points. In the first round of UEFA Conference League qualification, Magpies surprisingly overcame the Northern Irish side Derry City. However, in the second round, they can only hope for a miracle, having lost the first game 0-3.
Overall, Magpies do not have the same European experience as Copenhagen. Founded in 2013, this is only their third attempt to progress to the European season. In previous seasons, they were eliminated in the first round; now they have already surpassed their previous performances, but advancing further seems unlikely.
Prediction: Magpies +3
