Betting Tip
After two rounds of the Hungarian NB I, Debrecen sit alone at the bottom of the table with zero points, while they reached the Conference League third qualifying round thanks to just one goal. How are they supposed to compete with Copenhagen?
What is more, in their domestic competition Debrecen lost to teams who did not qualify for Europe. They conceded at least two goals against each of them. What is the problem? They do not have an overloaded injury list. The squad is not the strongest — only sixth in Hungary. The problems with breaking down opponents' defensive blocks really do exist. Loki not only scored just one goal against Pyunik over 180 minutes despite 36 shots and 3.30 xG, but three years ago they were also beaten by a much stronger Rapid Vienna side (0:0 away and 0:5 at home).
And Rapid Vienna are much closer to Copenhagen than Pyunik. With that kind of wastefulness, Debrecen have little chance against the leaders of Danish football, who may have slipped up in the Superliga last season but still reached the league phase of the Champions League. Across eight rounds, Copenhagen picked up the same number of points and scored 12 goals. The Lions were not afraid to push forward even against the giants, which is why six of those matches saw Over 3.5 land.
Debrecen are not Barcelona, to whom Copenhagen lost 1:4 in their most recent Champions League away match. In the second qualifying round of this Conference League, they again scored plenty — 3:3 and 2:1 against Polissya. And they put three away on the road. It is hard to believe the Hungarian side will score as many as the Ukrainian one did, so the bet on the Danish side to win should come in.
