FC Copenhagen and Hearts will battle for three points in a UEFA Conference League fixture on Thursday (December 12th). The game will be played at Parken Stadium.

Hearts, meanwhile, claimed a 2-0 home win over Dundee FC in the Scottish Premiership. Lawrence Shankland scored a first-half brace to inspire the victory.

FC Copenhagen vs Hearts Prediction
Copenhagen are on a good run of form and are aiming to win a fifth successive game for the first time since August 2023. This will be the Lions' 11th game against Scottish opposition and they have a mixed record, having won and lost three games each.
Hearts are the underdogs in this game and climbed off the bottom of the Scottish league table with their victory over the weekend. The Jam Tarts won their first away game in the Conference League but have lost their last two games on their travels.
Copenhagen have not always lived up to expectations when they have been the favorite in this season's tournament. But we are backing Jacob Neestrup's side to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
