Torpedo BelAz Zhodino faces FC Copenhagen in the second leg of the Europa Conference League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 29th at Central Stadium (Kazan)
It should be said right away that the game will take place in Kazan, and Torpedo will not have any home field advantage. Although what kind of advantage can we say, if the team lost the first match with a 1-4 score? And the difference in class between these clubs is huge. Torpedo fired its head coach Yuri Puntus after the first game against the Danes, and now his former assistant will take the team to Kazan. Considering the score of the first match, the upcoming game can be called friendly, but the picture of what is happening is unlikely to change anyway. Of course, Torpedo should set itself the task of at least not losing, but it will be extremely difficult to bring it to life. If the White-Blacks simply lose with a difference of two goals, they will be able to call it a success. However, it is unlikely to happen.

So far, FC Copenhagen has a simple path in this qualification. After Torpedo, the Lions will face someone from the pair Slovacko – Lokomotiv Plovdiv, so they can get into the group stage without much stress. In the first leg, the Danes dealt with the Belarusians without any problems, and such a confident victory looked quite logical, given that Copenhagen does not succeed in the national championship at the start of the season. The Lions scored only two points in the starting two rounds. A confrontation with such a simple opponent as Torpedo can serve as a good opportunity for the Lions to find their game! I do not think that FC Copenhagen will play sluggishly in the return match. They are likely to give their best and win with a difference of more than one goal.
Bookmakers are rather cautious about the status of the favorites in the upcoming match. The coefficient for a clear victory of FC Copenhagen is quite good, and it would be strange not to take advantage of it. As I said, the Lions are not doing well in the national championship, so they should gain confidence through games with weak Torpedo. I think that Copenhagen will be able to beat its opponent once again.
Prediction for the match: FC Copenhagen to win
