Our tip: FC Copenhagen – Ostrava: handicap FC Copenhagen -1.5

07.08.2024 19:00

An attractive but tough opponent awaits Baník in the third round of the Conference Europa League. They will face the club that knocked out Prague’s Sparta in a penalty shootout in last year’s Champions League third round and advanced to the eighth round of the millionaire competition at the expense of Manchester United and Galatasaray, where they fell to Manchester City.

Cup experience is clearly on the side of FC Copenhagen, who are 46th in the UEFA club coefficient, while Ostrava are picking up points in it after a long fourteen years. In the second preliminary round, they beat Urartu twice (5-1, 2-0), but Copenhagen are several levels above the Armenian side.

The Lions had a smooth win over Gibraltar Magpies (3-0, 5-1) and are also doing well in the Danish league, where they have seven points after three rounds. Sunday’s home dress rehearsal against Randers didn’t go the way Copenhagen wanted, with only a 1:1 draw from the power play, but they will be all the more focused on a successful start to the doubleheader with Ostrava.

Baník postponed Sunday’s game against Karviná to save his strength for Wednesday’s match in the Danish capital. The visitors have practically never faced opponents of similar quality, apart from the duels with the top three of the Czech league, which they cannot handle, the environment will be new for them. The Copenhagen players are better individually, and perhaps Brazilian Ewerton can match them technically.

What to bet on:

Ostrava will want to take an acceptable result into the rematch, but its clash with European reality will end in a defeat by at least two goals.

Confidence:

7/10
