Queen of the South must overturn a 2-1 deficit in Denmark if they are to progress to the first round of the Uefa Cup.

Gordon Chisholm's side qualified for Europe as runners-up in the Scottish Cup but they are in danger of falling at the first hurdle after a home defeat earlier in the month.

Sean O'Connor scored for Queen of the South in the first leg but Nordsjaelland will be confident of finishing the job on Tuesday after goals from Benjamin Kibebe and Patrice Bernier put them in a commanding position.

Nordsjaelland are set to be unchanged after all the players who took part at Airdrie's Excelsior Stadium were named in their squad.

"We have a good energy about us at the moment, no matter what other people think," Nordsjaelland coach Morten Wieghorst told his club's official website.

Queen of the South are nearly at full strength, with Gary Arbuckle (hamstring) their only absentee.

They have won twice in the league since the first leg and Chisholm will be hoping his side can become the first Scottish team to advance in Europe after losing the first leg at home.
