FC Copenhagen take on the visitors Zilina at "Telia Parken" in the second-leg clash of the 1/4 stage of the Qualification to the UEFA Champions League 2017/2018. The game will be played in Copenhagen on Wednesday, July 19th. The first-leg match ended with 3:1 scoreline in favour of the Danish side on the road.
In recent seasons FC Copenhagen have turned in to the solid performer of European football which was proved by the Danes in the first-leg battle in Slovakia: the team managed to break Zilina with 3:1 scoreline in equal clash at away ground having practically promoted to the next round of the UEFA Champions League. Last weekend Danish Superliga started and FC Copenhagen got 1:1 draw against Aalborg in the first round of the elite division. In 2017 the Danes recorded nine victories and four draws in 13 encounters on the road. "Loverne" have not been beaten in front of their supporters for more than a year already.

Zilina have easily won the Slovak Fortuna Liga 2016/2017. While at the beginning of the new season the side demonstrates average performance and there were friendly matches which showed that the Slovaks had some problems: the team gained a single win alongside with two defeats and 12-13 goal difference in four games. As a result, Zilina's defense collapsed in the first clash against the Danes, whereby the Slovaks have scored first. In 2017 Zilina participated in nine encounters on the road resulting in four triumphs, two draws and three losses.
The outcome of this pair's fight is almost decided. I believe that the forthcoming game in Denmark will turn into a friendly encounter, even though the hosts will tend to get back into the battle, while the Danes are extremely strong in face of their fans. Thus, I expect an exciting battle with a lot of scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
