Magpies, meanwhile, got to this stage of the qualifiers with a 3-2 aggregate victory over Derry City after extra time in the last round, while Copenhagen received a bye to ths stage.
The winner of this tie will face Banik Ostrava or Urartu in the next round of the qualifiers, while the losers will be eliminated from the continent.

Copenhagen vs Magpies Prediction
Copenhagen memorably progressed from a UEFA Champions League group that contained Galatasaray and Mancchester United, beating the Red Devils along the way. However, Jacob Neestrup's side have to settle for the third tier this season.
Magpies, for their part, are participating in the Conference League for the third time. Their surprise victory over Derry City in the last round got them to this stage for the first time, but it looks unlikely that their European campaign will continue.
Expect the hosts to claim a comfortable victory and also keep a clean sheet.
