Lions can hunt in pairs
FC Copenhagen head into Wednesday's UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 second leg with Polissya Zhytomyr in fine form, having won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 games, but the 3-3 score in the first leg of this tie was wild enough to suggest another very open clash. The Lions are the overwhelming favourites for the match at 1.47 with Polissya at 6.5 and the draw at 4.7.
Bo Svensson has got his FC Copenhagen side set up in a practical 4-4-2 shape that should suit this tie. They want to bully duels, press high up the field and get on the break quickly through their two strikers.
Polissya are set up in a very different way, however. Ruslan Rotan keeps his team compact and midfield-heavy, preferring to control the ball and be patient before countering vertically. This clash of styles should make for a fascinating chess match in Denmark with Copenhagen looking to hunt space and Polissya looking to deny it.
Polissya will be up for it
The away side have been in decent form away from home with one win and one loss in two games in all competitions, but Parken is a tough place to go looking to nick a result. FC Copenhagen have won 5 of their 6 matches here, scoring 3.00 goals per game and conceding 1.17, which is a perfect platform for an attacking team.
Polissya have had a mixed bag of results recently but the quality of opposition they have faced is pretty good. A 2-0 home win over FC Rukh Lviv was followed by a 1-2 win at WSG Tirol and then that 3-3 draw in Copenhagen. Across all competitions, they have won 6, drawn 2 and lost only 2 of their last 10, so they will be up for the game.
Copenhagen should have the edge
Robert is Copenhagen's sharpest edge in this competition so far with 2 goals in 1 appearance, while Igor Krasnopir has been Polissya's biggest goal threat with 1 in 1. The visitors have conceded 4 goals in 2 games away from home in all competitions and that is enough for us to give the hosts the nod here.
FC Copenhagen should win this game, but the 3-3 chaos of the first-leg does point to goals for both teams and we are getting Over 2.5 goals at 1.62 and Both Teams to Score: Yes at 1.82, while BTTS: No is still 1.9.
