Dinamo Minsk and FC Copenhagen trade tackles in a UEFA Europa Conference League fixture on Thursday. The game will be played in Azerbaijan, but Minsk are the designated home side.
The 'hosts' are coming off a 1-0 home win over BATE Borisov in the Belarusian Vysshaya Liga on Monday. Vadim Pigas' 42nd-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a 2-1 home win over Lyngby in the Danish Superliga. They went into the break in the lead, courtesy of Robert's 19th-minute strike, while Victor Froholdt doubled their lead with nine minutes left. Michael Opoku pulled one back for the visitors in the 88th minute.
Trending
The Lions now shift their attention to the continent, where their last game was a 2-2 home draw with Istanbul Basaksehir, while Minsk fell to a 4-0 loss at Legia Warsaw. The defeat left them in 34th spot in the points table with zero points from three games, while Copenhagen are 29th with two points.
Dinamo Minsk vs FC Copenhagen Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the first meeting between the two sides.
- Seven of Dinamo's last eight games across competitions have seen at least one side fail to score.
- Copenhagen have six wins in their last 11 Conference League away games, losing one.
- Minsk are winless in four head-to-head games against Danish opposition, losing three.
- Ten of Copenhagen's last 11 games across competitions, including the last five, have had goals at both ends.
Dinamo Minsk vs FC Copenhagen Prediction
Dinamo have been forced to play their home games in Azerbaijan owing to a ban on Belarus. Andrey Tolmach's side are on course to win successive league crowns for the first time this century but have been well off the mark on the continent.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, are unbeaten in nine games across competitions and are engaged in a fierce battle atop the Danish Super Liga with Midtjylland. They enter this game as the favourites, but it might not mean much, as the pre-game favourites are winless in three Conference League games this season.
Copenhagen are unbeaten in six away games, having come from behind on four occasions, so a poor start might not be disastrous.
Prediction: Dinamo 1-2 Copenhagen
