FC Copenhagen enter this second leg at Parken Stadium holding a commanding 3-0 aggregate lead over Hungarian side Debrecen. The tie is effectively over before a ball is kicked on Wednesday, but Copenhagen will want a clean performance at home as they push toward the UEFA Conference League group stage. One stat worth noting early: Copenhagen have scored 17 goals across their last five matches, making them one of the most free-scoring sides in Europe right now.
Mohamed Elyounoussi has been the standout performer for Copenhagen in recent weeks, contributing 5 goals and 3 assists across six appearances. His movement and directness in tight spaces make him nearly impossible to contain for a Debrecen backline that has already been torn apart once. On the other side, veteran Balazs Dzsudzsak carries Debrecen’s best creative threat. He has scored twice in six recent matches and holds the only free kick goal in this dataset, showing he still has the technical quality to punish any lapse in concentration.
Hot stat: Copenhagen have netted 17 goals in their last five competitive matches, averaging 3.4 per game, a rate that reflects both their attacking depth and the quality gap between them and their recent opposition.

FC Copenhagen vs Debrecen Prediction
With a 3-0 first-leg advantage, Copenhagen have no pressure at all in this match. Bo Svensson’s side will likely rotate selectively while still expecting a comfortable home win. Debrecen need to score four goals without conceding to overturn the tie, which, given their recent form and the first-leg performance, is not a realistic scenario.
We think the best value here is Copenhagen to win and keep a clean sheet. Their defensive structure has been solid across recent matches, and Debrecen have scored just three goals across their last five games. The Hungarian side is also coming into this match on the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Nyiregyhaza, which offers little confidence that they can suddenly unlock a top-tier Danish defense.
Copenhagen play a high-tempo, possession-based game. Their pass accuracy of around 82% over the last five matches suggests they control games well and limit the opposition’s time on the ball. Debrecen, by contrast, commit more fouls (81 total in five matches vs Copenhagen’s 78) and have accumulated 16 yellow cards compared to Copenhagen’s 9. That discipline gap matters at this level. Debrecen’s tendency to foul could hand Copenhagen set-piece opportunities, and with Marcos López delivering 17 free kicks in recent games, those situations are dangerous.

Team Analysis
Copenhagen have been in exceptional form. They went unbeaten across their last seven matches, winning six. In the five matches before this second leg, they beat Silkeborg 3-1, Polissya 2-1, Lyngby 3-2, drew 3-3 with Polissya in an earlier meeting, and most recently dismantled Debrecen 3-0 in the first leg. That first-leg win came away from home, which makes the aggregate lead even more convincing. Robert Silva has been quietly excellent with five goals in six appearances, and the team’s width through Beijmo and López creates constant problems for opposing defenses.
Debrecen’s recent form tells a different story. They won just two of their last seven matches, losing four. Their most recent result before this second leg was a 1-0 victory over Nyiregyhaza in the Hungarian league, which snapped a run of three consecutive losses. Before that, they were beaten 2-4 by Ujpest and drew 0-0 with Pyunik Yerevan in the Europa Conference League qualifying round. Gert Remmel’s side has struggled to find consistency, and their total of just three goals across the last five matches confirms a real shortage of attacking threat. Ákos Szendrei has one goal in that stretch, and honestly that is the extent of their firepower at this level.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Copenhagen the Favourite
- Moneyline FC Copenhagen 1.22 | Debrecen 9.50
- Draw 5.65
The odds reflect exactly what the aggregate scoreline already suggests. Copenhagen at around 1.22 is a short price but entirely justified. They are at home, they lead 3-0, and they have been the better team in every statistical category. Debrecen at 9.50 is a market nod toward the mathematical possibility of an upset rather than a genuine expectation of one. The draw at 5.65 might attract some interest if Debrecen manage to keep things tight early, but we think Copenhagen will find the net before that scenario develops.
Possible Starting Lineups
FC Copenhagen Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Dominik Kotarski
- DF: Felix Beijmo, Munashe Garananga, Gabriel Pereira, Marcos López
- MF: Thomas Delaney, Alex Král
- MF: Mads Emil Madsen, Mohamed Elyounoussi, William Clem
- FW: Robert Silva
Copenhagen’s likely 4-2-3-1 setup places Delaney and Král as the double pivot, offering defensive cover while the attacking three of Madsen, Elyounoussi, and Clem operate behind Silva. Kotarski gets the nod in goal given his significantly higher playing time across recent matches. Bo Svensson may rotate given the comfortable aggregate lead, but the core of this side has played consistently and the chemistry is visible in the numbers. Watch Elyounoussi closely. Five goals and three assists in six matches is a remarkable return for a wide forward, and he has the pace to punish any high defensive line.
Debrecen Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Plamen Andreev
- DF: Ádám Lang, Bence Batik, Rotem Keller, Adrián Guerrero Aguilar
- MF: Blaz Boskovic, Balazs Dzsudzsak
- MF: Márk Szécsi, Sohan Baldoni, Vilmos Csanad Denes
- FW: Ákos Szendrei
Debrecen will likely line up in their familiar 4-2-3-1. Andreev starts in goal after making 20 saves across six matches, by far the busiest goalkeeper in this dataset. Lang and Batik anchor the center of defense and will be tested heavily. Boskovic has three yellow cards in six games, so he needs to be careful in the midfield battle. Dzsudzsak is the player Debrecen need to perform. His technical quality and direct free kick threat make him their best chance of putting something on the scoreboard, even if the tie itself is long gone.

The Verdict
Copenhagen are in a different class to Debrecen at this stage. Their 3-0 first-leg win was not a fluke. It was built on superior passing, clinical finishing, and a defense that gave Debrecen almost nothing to work with. At Parken, with home support and no pressure on the aggregate, Copenhagen will control this match from the first whistle.
Debrecen have scored just three goals in five recent matches and have lost four of their last seven. Their discipline is shaky, their attack is blunt, and they are walking into a stadium where the home side has been scoring freely all season. We back Copenhagen to win to nil. Maybe they rotate some players, maybe the margin is narrower than the first leg, but Debrecen finding the net against this Copenhagen backline seems unlikely. Over 2.5 goals in the match also looks solid given Copenhagen’s attacking output, and we would not expect Debrecen to keep a clean sheet either.
