Copenhagen vs Polissya Prediction 29 July 2026
🔊 Copenhagen host Polissya in the second leg of the Conference League second qualifying round. The first match was one of the most entertaining at this stage - it ended 3-3, so both sides are essentially starting from scratch in Denmark. The winner advances to the third qualifying round, which makes this match decisive for both clubs right at the start of the European campaign.
Head-to-Head
📊 The Danes went ahead as early as the 4th minute, but Polissya managed to go into the break leading 2-1. After half-time, the Scandinavian side first levelled, then went back in front late on, only for the Ukrainian side to equalise on 88 minutes.
Head-to-head statistics Copenhagen - Polissya
Copenhagen Team Overview
In the first leg, they managed 11 shots, generated 1.22 xG, and still scored three. Bo Svensson's side have now gone 11 of their last 12 matches without a defeat and with at least two goals scored. The defensive side of things isn't perfect, but at home Copenhagen are a different proposition - more assured, harder to play against, rarely letting opponents set the tempo. Home advantage is a real factor going into the second leg.
At Parken, the Danes typically take the game to the opposition - high press, wide attacks, plenty of activity down the flanks. Last weekend they opened their Danish Superliga campaign with a 3-2 win over Lyngby. And in 6 of their last 7 matches, the total goals over 3.5 has landed.

Polissya Zhytomyr Team Overview
Ruslan Rotan's side made a strong impression in the first leg. The Ukrainian club didn't shy away from a more experienced opponent - they scored three times, converted their chances well and generated 3.2 xG. Polissya also held their own in possession (50%) and had 20 shots, seven of which were on target.
The defence wasn't always comfortable with the Danes' quick ball movement, though - especially after losing the ball in midfield. Away from home, the task gets considerably harder. Polissya need to weather the early pressure and stay sharp in the first 20 minutes, but they've already shown they can create danger against better opposition.

🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The cost of a mistake in the second leg is extremely high, so there should be significantly more duels and tactical fouls than in a regular league match. This is especially likely in the second half, when any error could determine who advances to the next qualifying round. Our pick is over 3.5 total yellow cards, a bet that landed in the first meeting between these teams.
⚽ Goals Prediction
After the entertaining draw in the first leg, both teams are expected to approach this match with attacking intent once again. Copenhagen rarely abandon their aggressive style at home, while Polissya have already shown they can exploit open spaces effectively. At the same time, neither defence looked particularly convincing in the first encounter. Our selection is Both Teams To Score - Yes at odds of 1.55*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Copenhagen are expected to control possession for long periods and spend most of the match on the front foot. Their high pressing and frequent attacks down the flanks should create a steady flow of dangerous situations. However, the hosts have taken no more than six corners in 6 of their last 7 matches. Our pick is Copenhagen team total under 6.5 corners at 1.91*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The first leg showed Polissya can make life difficult for one of Scandinavia's stronger clubs, but in Denmark the advantage shifts to Copenhagen. The Ukrainian side edged the xG, yet the hosts are considerably better at home and will have the crowd behind them. If the Danes keep the same attacking intensity, they should be the ones going through. The editorial prediction is a Copenhagen win. Likely score - 2:1.
