TNS vs FC Copenhagen Prediction & Betting tips
26 of the 32 participants of the UEFA Champions League season 2019/20 have been announced, only six tickets will be awarded through the qualification. The dream of the Champions League anthem in the group stage and the revenue in the millions have a great appeal, but the way to go is a cumbersome. This week’s first legs are in the second round on the program. Among other things, it comes to the duel between The New Saints and FC Copenhagen!
The teams still have to survive a total of three qualifying rounds before entering the group phase. In the current phase of the qualification, there are still some absolute no-name teams. The New Saints from Wales are definitely such a no-name in European comparison, although the club has consistently won the title in their home country since 2012.
The Danish representative from Copenhagen is a very different caliber and is considered a big favorite in this knockout duel. A failure is almost unimaginable and between New New Saints and FC Copenhagen quotas are offered in the double-digit range for the progress of the Welsh. Quite likely that the Danes can already decide the game in the first leg. The game starts on Tuesday evening at 19 pm.
The New Saints:
With Swansea and Cardiff Wales has two well-known club teams. The duo is incorporated in the English league system, namely, in the home, both teams have no competition. The Welsh league is classified as a maximum second-rate. Compared to this duo, the teams that play in the Welsh Premier League are like amateur teams.
TNS – or The New Saints – is the record champion in Wales with twelve titles and since 2012 has been able to win the championship without interruption. As a result, the Welsh are already an integral part of the qualification for the premier class, but the appearances are usually short-lived. To qualify for a group stage – be it Champions or Europa League – must and will wait for the club. The Welsh league is currently only 46th out of 55 in the UEFA five-year standings.
In the event of a likely absence from FC Copenhagen, TNS will remain only the outsider in the subsequent Europa League qualifying campaign. In the first qualifying round, the Welsh put through very thinly against the Kosovar champion Feronikeli. The team of head coach Scott Ruscoe had to be content at home despite a 2-0 lead with a 2-2 draw. There were two goals conceded in the closing stages and TNS was under pressure in the second leg. However, a goal by Dean Ebbe paved the way to the second round. An immensely important victory, as it gave the club just under a million euros in premium and secured Wales four slots on the international stage for the coming seasons.
Nevertheless, the Champions League trip in this second round will probably come to an end. Despite the home field advantage at Park Hall, odds of more than eight times home win betting are offered between The New Saints and FC Copenhagen.
FC Copenhagen:
At the 1. FC Köln in Germany and at the Wolverhampton Wanderers in England the Norwegian Staal Solbakken was only partially successful. In Copenhagen, however, he has found a sporting home in which he can celebrate great successes. Meanwhile, the 51-year-old Norwegian can already be described as a long-term trainer. After all, he has been responsible for the Danish top club since August 2013. In almost 300 competitive games, he comes up with an excellent average score of 1.98 points per game. Copenhagen and Solbakken is a connection that simply works. Already from 2006 to 2011 he worked in Denmark as a head coach and reached in 233 competitive games also a cut of two counters per game.
Extremely confident could Copenhagen in the past season to secure the championship. After in the first round of FC Midtylland could still keep up with Copenhagen, celebrated the Solbakken-Elf in the championship play-offs seven wins in a row and secured the title win. After the very strong season last year, the majority of the championship could be held together. Center-back Denis Vavro (Lazio) and goalkeeper Jesse Joronen (Brescia Calcio) have left the club. On the side of the newcomers were mostly committed young players from the Danish league.
The kick-off to the new season was promising and with victories against Odense BK and Aarhus GF, Copenhagen is leading the table again. The form is right, the team is well-tuned and has far more quality than the Wales team. Arguments against a victory on the island are basically not there. Accordingly, in the three-way market between The New Saints and FC Copenhagen only a tip on the Danes can be recommended.
