Copenhagen vs Kilmarnock preview
It’s a tough tie for Kilmarnock but a massive opportunity to reach European group stage football.
That was shown in Derek McInnes’ team selection in the defeat to Motherwell at the weekend, though the Killie boss could’ve done without extra-time if they were going to lose anyway.
It was a terrific feat to progress beyond Tromso in the last round after a 1-0 win in Norway but they’ll need to improve again to get into these groups.
Domestically it’s been a pretty horrific start with all eyes on Europe, so they’ll be keen to capitalise.
The club also opted not to ask for a postponement of the Aberdeen game this weekend, likely knowing fine well that the powers at be don’t appear too interested in helping the European sides.
Copenhagen needed penalties to beat Czech side Banik Ostrava in the last round in what was a terrible set of spot kicks.
They were also held at home to Viborg in the Superliga at the weekend which saw them relinquish top spot.
But with 11 points from five games, it’s been a strong start for the side that mixed it in the Champions League last year – including beating Manchester United.

Copenhagen vs Kilmarnock betting tips
Tight
Other than the two goals conceded at home to Tromso, Killie have looked relatively decent at the back in Europe.
Domestically they’ve been miles off it in that regard. But they’ve stepped up on the big stage.
McInnes knows they’ll need to keep it tight and will be desperate to still be in the tie when the Danes over next week.
