If FC Copenhagen beats Lugano, and Dynamo Kiev beats Malmö FF, is FCK already Thursday ahead of the Europa League.

FC Copenhagen nestled in the bend to advance from the group stage of the Europa League. In fact, the Danish club, Thursday, in the penultimate round of the game make their way to the spring 16.-delsfinaler.

This requires that the two matches in group B bottles out on Thursday evening. FCK must do its part of the job by beating FC Lugano in Switzerland, while Dynamo Kiev at the same time must defeat Malmö FF in Sweden.

In that case FCK and Dynamo Kiev are sure to grab the top two spots in the group, and then become FCK's final group stage match at home against Malmö FF no matter in relation to who goes on.

in addition to the two langtidsskadede Nicolai Boilesen and Jonas, Wind, and Jens Stage and Nicklas Bendtner, who is currently also hors de combat, were 21 players with in the plane to Switzerland, where Thursday is the kickoff at 21.

There can also be use for the troupe's width, since there are already Sunday at 11.45 waiting for a derby in the premier League at home against Brøndby.

Captain Carlos Zeca looking forward to some intense days.

- We have to focus on both battles and seize them the smart way in our approach to them, for we go Retrobet after to go further in the Europa League, and we all know how important the derby is for the club, the fans and us players, says Zeca for FCK's website.

Sunday, it is also vital to get three points in order not to lose further ground to FC Midtjylland, who are in first place in the premier League, seven points down to FCK on the second place.

- It is not difficult to find the right motivation for these games. They are both great, and we need to go after to win both of them, but we also know that they come very close to each other, and therefore it is important that we do everything right.

- Both in the fighting and in the period between them in order to be fully prepared for the tasks, says Zeca.

Thursday's away match against FC Lugano played 250 kilometres away from Lugano to St. Gallen, as the Lugano's own stadium is not approved for european matches.

Between 1000 and 2000 spectators has been in place for the club's first home games in the group, so it will be hardly a cauldron, which I am visiting.

Before the match leading IN the group with six points ahead of Dynamo Kiev with the same score. Malmö FF and Lugano have respectively five and two points after four rounds.
