Match Prediction: Copenhagen vs. Heidenheim
The Danes are rightly favored in the upcoming match. Copenhagen has much more experience in European competitions and performs well at home in the Conference League. Jakob Neestrup's side is unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches in this tournament (4 wins, 1 draw), with the only loss coming from a last-minute goal.
Heidenheim has not won in their last three Conference League matches (1 draw, 2 losses). In the Bundesliga, Frank Schmidt's team is at the bottom of the table, which affects the team's morale.
