Danes ready to seal the deal at home: prediction for Copenhagen vs Debrecen
The second leg of the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round between Copenhagen and Debrecen is set for August 12, 2026, at the Parken Stadium in the Danish capital. Just a week ago, the Danish side cruised to a confident 3-0 victory in Hungary, so the hosts enter the return fixture with qualification for the next round all but secured.

Copenhagen: relentless attack keeps rolling
Copenhagen have found their rhythm after a rocky start to their European campaign. Following a tough battle with Polissya, which saw the Danes advance on aggregate, Bo Svensson’s team have now won four straight matches by a combined score of 11-4.
Their attacking output is particularly impressive: Copenhagen have scored 14 goals in five matches this season. Mohamed Elyounoussi and Robert have already netted five and four goals respectively, and at home, the team has won six of their last seven games - strengthening their position ahead of the second leg.
Debrecen: defensive woes pile on an already daunting task
Debrecen are still searching for their best football after a major summer overhaul. The Hungarians have played six matches this season, suffering three defeats, and only edged past Pyunik in qualifying thanks to a narrow 1-0 win and a goalless draw.
Their main issue is at the back: they've conceded nine goals in those six outings. Their away record is also a concern - just two wins, five draws, and three losses in ten road games in 2026.
Match facts and head-to-head
- The first leg ended with a 3-0 victory for Copenhagen.
- The Danish club have scored at least three goals in six of their last seven matches.
- Debrecen have conceded nine goals in six matches this season.
Class difference likely to show again: Copenhagen vs Debrecen prediction
Copenhagen can afford to control the tempo, but they’re unlikely to abandon their attacking style. The team is in top form, scoring freely, and look especially dominant on home turf.
Debrecen will have to take risks, which will only open up more space at the back. Given the Hungarians’ defensive frailties and the hosts’ prolific attack, another confident win for Copenhagen looks the most logical outcome.
