Copenhagen edged past Banik Ostrava in the previous round, progressing 2-1 on penalties after a 1-1 aggregate tie. The Danish side had a mixed 2023-24 season, finishing third in the Danish Superliga, ending their two-year league title run. However, they enjoyed a remarkable Champions League campaign, making it to the group stage and surprisingly finishing second in a tough group with Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Galatasaray. They were knocked out by Manchester City in the round of 16. Under Jacob Neestrup, Copenhagen has started the new season well, remaining unbeaten in nine matches across all competitions, although they recently drew 1-1 with Viborg. Neestrup will be keen to see his team deliver a strong performance in this important playoff.
Kilmarnock has made an impressive recovery since their unexpected relegation in 2020-21, quickly returning to the Scottish Premiership by winning the Scottish Championship. They barely escaped relegation in their first season back but enjoyed a standout 2023-24 campaign, finishing fourth in the Scottish Premiership, their highest league finish since 2018-19. This achievement has given them their first opportunity to compete in European football since their Europa League exit in 2018. However, Kilmarnock has had a tough start to the current season, winning only one of their first seven matches across all competitions. Derek McInnes will need to rally his squad as they face a challenging opener against Copenhagen.
