FC Copenhagen vs Hearts Prediction

After a slow start for Copenhagen in the Conference League, they picked up their first win last time out against Dinamo Minsk to put them in with a better chance of reaching the knockout phase.

Prior to that, they had only managed a couple of draws but the standings look much healthier now. They sit top of the Danish Superliga after 17 rounds and are 12 matches unbeaten in all competitions. They will be eager to continue this run of form and target a fifth successive win in all competitions here.

Hearts started the Conference League in fine form themselves winning their opening two matches against Dinamo Minsk and Omonia Nicosia. However, they have slipped to successive 2-0 losses to Heidenheim and Cercle Brugge and this is another tough assignment for them here.

It will be interesting to see how Hearts line-up here and if they rotate. Copenhagen are without some important players like Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Rasmus Falk and Roony Bardghji and they have concerns over Elias Achouri and Nicolai Boilesen too. They still have enough quality in their ranks however to field a strong team and with slightly more pressure on them to get a result here at home, we can see them getting the result.
