Din. Minsk vs FC Copenhagen prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2024-11-27 17:45.
[p]Currently on course to lift successive Belarusian championships for the first time this century, Dinamo Minsk have a larger task to turn around their UEFA Conference League fortunes, where they remain pointless after three rounds (L3). Since taking the lead against Hearts in their opening European league game, Dinamo have conceded seven unanswered goals, a trend theyâll hope to buck as they meet Copenhagen. [/p]
[p]Such an outcome isnât guaranteed against Danish opponents, whom Dinamo remain winless against after four H2Hs, with each defeat also seeing them trail at half-time (D1, L3). Replicating their solid domestic home form on the continent is proving difficult for Dinamo, not least because the club must play their âhomeâ games in Azerbaijan due to sanctions on Belarus. That has undoubtedly had an effect as Dinamo remain winless at âhomeâ in this competition (D1, L3). [/p]
[p]Making the long trip across the continent well in the race for a 16th Danish championship, Copenhagen are also needing a contrast in European fortunes as they too remain without a win in this sphere after three rounds (D2, L1). In a curious twist, the odds on favourite has failed to win all three of Copenhagenâs Conference League games so far, a trend theyâll hope to buck in this game as the Danes carry that tag this time around. [/p]
[p]Copenhagen boss Jacob Neestrup may be relatively confident of confirming their short odds here as the Danish outfit have lost only one Conference League away game within 90 minutes (W6, D4), in a tie ultimately won on penalties. The latest of those games, a 2-2 draw against Betis, makes up part of Copenhagenâs ongoing seven-game unbeaten run of competitive away games (W3, D4). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Dinamo veteran Aleksey Gavrilovich scored the opener in two wins âto nilâ to help his side achieve a place in the league phase, yet the centre-back was more recently booked in his last two competitive appearances. After scoring his first senior goals from the bench, a pair of equalisers in Copenhagenâs last European game, 18-year-old Amin Chiakha earned himself a senior international debut for Algeria over the break. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Four of Copenhagenâs last six away games saw them come from behind to avoid defeat (W2, D4). [/p]
