FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City: Match Preview and Prediction
FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City: Manchester City is coming off 10 straight wins in all competitions. FC Copenhagen lost three Atlantic Cup games and conceded seven goals this month. Erling Haaland scored twice in the weekend 2-0 win over Everton.
On Tuesday night, Manchester City defends their European club crown. They meet FC Copenhagen in Copenhagen in the first leg of their last-16 round encounter. Citizens are heavy favorites in the evening and over two legs. Will they resolve the quarterfinalist from this tie in the first game and defend the tag?
The Citizens stretched their winning streak to eleven games in all competitions on Saturday afternoon. They beat Everton 2-0 when Erling Haaland scored twice in the second half. This thread has led to nine of ten two-goal wins. The Citizens won Group G with 18 points from 6 games against RB Leipzig, Young Boys, and Red Star Belgrade.
FC Copenhagen avoided elimination from the top European event for the second time in their history. They did this despite only one point from the first three Group A games. In the remaining three games, Denmark won seven of nine, including back-to-back home wins over Galatasaray and Manchester United.
FC Copenhagen vs Manchester City: Betting Analysis
Last season, these two teams faced off in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. After winning 5-0 at home, Manchester City was unable to break the deadlock in a goalless draw in Copenhagen. Manchester City and FC Copenhagen have faced off four times previously, with two victories and two draws apiece.
FC Copenhagen’s second-place finish in Group A was a huge accomplishment, but the team under Jacob Neestrup has not performed as well at home throughout the first half of the season. FC Copenhagen lost against AGF Aarhus and Viborg back-to-back before the winter break. As a result, they fell to third position in the Superliga rankings.
Manchester City scores goals for fun these days. Four of their last six games in all competitions have seen three or more goals. For the first time this season, Pep Guardiola has his whole team. Visitors should run the show from start to finish. We’ll back Man City to lead at halftime and win at 1.72.
Erling Haaland is 100% after a long injury. The Norwegian striker scored twice against Everton three days ago to commemorate his first 90 minutes. He should have space to score against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday. Neestrup’s team scored seven goals in three games at The Atlantic Cup, a Scandinavian midseason competition, this month. We’ll take Haaland’s 1.61 scoring chances at any time.
