FC Copenhagen
vs
Atalanta Bergamasca
Kick-off
16:30 GMT
30 August 2018
The Copenhagen vs. Atalanta match will be played on Thursday, August 30, at the Telia Parken, Copenhagen. This is the Europa League final qualifying round. In the first leg played in Italy a week ago, the result was 0:0.
This will be their second head to head match, after a last week's goalless draw in Bergamo.
Copenhagen has a terrible season behind them, and their biggest goal for the current season is to return the Danish league title to their trophy room. Of course, they would love to feature in Europa League, like they did in the last two seasons. In their last six games, Copenhagen saved their net only once, in the match against Atalanta in Bergamo. They will have to do the same again, in order to qualify for the Europa League group phase. In the previous qualifying round, Copenhagen eliminated CSKA Sofia by 4:2 on aggregate.

Atalanta started the Serie A season superbly, with a victory over Frosinone and a draw in Rome against one of the best teams in the league, Roma. They were dominant against Copenhagen in the first match, but they were unlucky to score at least one goal. Atalanta will certainly try to attack Copenhagen even on the road, in order to score a crucial away goal. In the previous qualifying round they were dominant against Hapoel Haifa. Atalanta eliminated the Israeli team by 6:1 on aggregate.

Atalanta is still the favorite to qualify for Europa League group phase. However, Copenhagen showed composure and strength in the first match and they have some chances to be victorious as well. We believe that both teams will score at least one goal in the upcoming match.
