FC Copenhagen are in good form and ready for a second Scottish scalp of the season as they welcome Hearts in the Uefa Conference League.
Hearts will be the second Scottish side to visit FC Copenhagen's Parken Stadium in the Conference League this season, as they try to take a stride towards knockout European football for the first time since 1989.
Now on the back of four straight wins and unbeaten in 12 matches, Denmark's most successful club are showing signs of getting back to being more like the side that got to the last 16 of the Champions League last season, beating Manchester United and drawing with Bayern Munich along the way.As well as Copenhagen's improved form, which has taken them top of the Danish Super League on goal difference, their schedule is kind.
With just five points from their three games so far - one fewer than Hearts - Copenhagen urgently need a victory. Former Celtic forward Mohamed Elyounoussi is the standout, scoring nine goals and setting up a further nine so far this term, leading him to be named as the Super League's best player for the first half of the campaign.
Defensively, though, they are vulnerable. They have kept one clean sheet in their past 14 games and there is a sense their individual quality is getting the results rather than team cohesion.
