Kilmarnock vs FC Copenhagen Betting Tips, Odds & Match Preview - Europa Conference League Playoff
Kilmarnock face a daunting task at Rugby Park on Thursday evening to qualify for the UEFA Conference League group stage after a late collapse in Denmark last week left them 2-0 down against FC Copenhagen.
Despite holding firm for most of the game, a controversial penalty and a last-minute goal put Derek McInnes’ side on the back foot in the tie.
And morale was further dented at the weekend by a 2-0 loss to Aberdeen, leaving the Ayrshire side bottom of the ScottshPremiership.
It will require a huge effort to overcome a strong Copenhagen side that reached the knockout stages of last season’s Champions League.

Kilmarnock vs FC Copenhagen Match Preview
FC Copenhagen’s 2-0 victory in last week’s first leg requires context, as both goals came in the final 15 minutes after a solid defensive effort from Kilmarnock.
However, despite Killie’s resilience, Copenhagen dominated proceedings with 18 shots to Kilmarnock’s five.
Another Copenhagen win to nil seems likely on Thursday evening, given Killie’s struggles to score this season - the Ayrshire side have failed to score in their three Scottish Premiership matches.
In contrast, Copenhagen are in goal-scoring form, finding the net in all but one of their 11 competitive matches this season.
Oskarsson to strike
Plzen’s winning goal in the first leg came from a late own goal by Daniel Oyegoke, but the Czechs will be hoping one of their own finds the net at Tynecastle.
Striker Daniel Vasulin scored in both legs against Kryvbas in the previous round, and with three goals in his last five matches in all competitions, he is a strong candidate for an anytime goal on Thursday evening.
