Copenhagen vs Manchester City Prediction

Copenhagen will still be bruised from their experience at the Etihad last week when, in the reverse fixture, they were hammered 5-0. Three goals before halftime effectively won the game for City and despite coasting in the second period they still added two more.

It left Jacob Neestrup’s team bottom of the group with just a single point to their name, which they earned on Matchday 2 in a goalless home draw with Sevilla. They opened their UCL campaign a week earlier with a disappointing 3-0 defeat in Dortmund.

Domestic Struggles for Danish Champions

Despite being bottom of the group, Copenhagen are level on points with Sevilla and so are still in with a realistic chance of third place and a place in the Europa League. To achieve this they will need the minimum of a draw and a win but may have to wait until their final two games.

Domestically, things haven’t gone particularly well for Copenhagen and the current Danish Superliga champions are currently in seventh place after 12 rounds of matches. At the weekend they drew 1-1 with top-of-the-table Nordsjaelland.

Copenhagen vs Manchester City Head-to-Head Stats

Man City on a Roll

Pep Guardiola’s men are flying and appear capable of not just beating but thrashing every opponent put before them. At the weekend, they hammered Southampton 4-0 at the Etihad, meaning in their last three games they have scored 15 and conceded zero. Ominously, their big summer signing, Erling Haaland, has so far scored 20 goals from 13 games.

A win in Copenhagen will confirm City’s place in the knockout phase of the UCL. They opened with a 4-0 win in Sevilla before having to work a bit harder to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at the Etihad on Matchday 2. Their complete dominance was confirmed with the 5-0 win over Copenhagen in Manchester last Wednesday.

Haaland the Missing Piece of the Jigsaw

The stats above tell the story of a giants vs minnows clash, with City leading the way in every metric. In the EPL too, they are again the team to beat and, despite Arsenal currently being a point ahead of them, the Gunners’ lead isn’t expected to last very long.

The one piece of silverware missing from the Man City trophy cabinet is the Champions League trophy, and the arrival of Haaland looks to have edged that dream a bit closer to reality. City’s owner, Sheikh Mansour has long seen the UCL as football’s holy grail and this could be the season.

Copenhagen vs Manchester City Pick

It’s hard to see anyone beating City right now. While Copenhagen will almost certainly put up a better show than they did a week ago at the Etihad, the win looks beyond them and the draw also looks a massive ask.

With a City victory at such an incredibly short price, there’s no value whatsoever in betting on the away win but there is in wagering on the size of City’s win. The 3-0 away victory at 6/1 looks to be the value.

Pick: Manchester City to win  3-0 (+600)
