Europa League betting and spectator preview: København and Piast Gliwice meet at Parken to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

It's no vacation for neither København nor Piast Gliwice as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

These teams have little in common geographically as Piast Gliwice have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
