Never in danger of progressing for ManCity?

Manchester City narrowly won the first leg against Copenhagen in Denmark’s capital. There should now be no doubt at home, as the home side can celebrate their tenth consecutive Champions League win. A duel of the David vs. Goliath brand

The Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen prediction from the bookmakers shows the expected clear favorites role for the home side. Manchester City definitely have the higher individual class and above all do not have to exert pressure from the start.

The Skyblues will dominate Copenhagen in terms of play, run the ball and repeatedly create chances. Based on the individual predictions ahead of the Manchester City v FC Copenhagen game, our tip is that the home side will win and lead at the break.

Manchester City – Statistics & current form

Manchester City are once again having a very good season. The Cityzens are right in the thick of the title fight in the league, are still in the FA Cup and have won all of their matches in the Champions League so far this season. There have even been nine consecutive victories in this competition. Only Real Madrid (once) and FC Bayern (twice) have won more. The Sky Blues are also the defending champions

This alone automatically determines the distribution of roles. Coach Pep Guardiola’s team is heavily favored, as the Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen odds from the bookmakers also show. City played the derby against Manchester United at the weekend and did not let a 3:1 win throw them off course. Phil Foden was the outstanding man, scoring two goals. The hosts will also be hoping for him and Erling Haaland in this game.

City have not lost any of the five games they have played against Copenhagen. Two games ended in draws, the others were won. This season, City have been particularly strong in home games, always scoring at least three goals of their own. Guardiola’s team will once again be on the offensive and play forward in this match

Manchester City in good form

The Skyblues are currently in very good form. The Cityzens have won 14 of their last 15 competitive matches, only drawing once against Chelsea at home. City have not lost a single game at home this season anyway. In the 14 league games so far, they have won ten, drawn four and scored 34 goals. That is very impressive.

Interesting: Manchester City have conceded at least one goal in four of their last seven competitive matches. The team is extremely dominant, creates many chances, but has one or two small flaws in its defense. Not even as a team, but individually.

In any case, the hosts want to set an example and make everything clear early on so that they can be spared in the end. That’s why our prediction ahead of the match between Manchester City and FC Copenhagen is that the home side will win and lead at the break

Predicted Manchester City line-up:

FC Copenhagen – Statistics & current form

FC Copenhagen have already managed to upset one or two opponents this season. There were also good moments for the Danes in the first leg against Manchester City. Of course, it was clear that City had individual superiority on the pitch, but with commitment, willingness to run and a lot of discipline, there were open phases in the game and also a goal. Now, however, it will be virtually impossible to progress, as FCK have never won an away game in England.

It is also only the fourth game that this young team has played in the knockout round of the top flight. This factor also speaks against the Danes and clearly in favor of Manchester City. There was also a setback in the fight for the title at the weekend, when the team coached by Jacob Neestrup lost 2-0 at Midtjylland.

As a result, Copenhagen slipped behind their opponents and are now in third place, with arch-rivals Brøndby also picking up two more points. But everything is still open. However, their confidence has suffered a little, losing four of their last eight competitive matches, which is simply too much for their own standards

FC Copenhagen clear underdogs

Away from home, there have been six wins in ten games in the league. In the Champions League, the Danes also lost only one of their three games away from home, although opponents Bayern were already certain to qualify on matchday five. None of this changes the mammoth task ahead.

The Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen betting odds show that the bookmakers are expecting a game in which a lot of goals will be scored. City will try to set the course for victory early on, then it could very well be that both play with an open goal afterwards.

It is precisely because of this component that our value tip ahead of the match between Manchester City and FC Copenhagen is that both teams will score.

Predicted line-up of FC Copenhagen:
