Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen Match Preview and Prediction
Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen: Manchester City has finished the last 16 games in all competitions with 15 wins and 1 tie. In their last two victories over Luton and Manchester United, the Citizens scored nine goals. FC Copenhagen is coming to England following a 0-2 loss against Midtjylland.
In the Sunday afternoon Manchester derby, Manchester City defeated their fierce rivals despite an early Marcus Rashford setback. With an incredible two-goal performance in the second half, Phil Foden masterminded a comeback, and Erling Haaland sealed the win with a late goal of his own.
Therefore, in the race for the Premier League championship, Pep Guardiola’s team maintained a lead over Liverpool. On Wednesday night, they will host Danish champions FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League last-16 round, and they will be seeking to seal the deal.
In Copenhagen, the Citizens won the first leg 3-1. In Denmark three weeks ago, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne were stars. The former had two assists, and the latter had a goal and an assist. FC Copenhagen suffered a 0-2 setback to Midtjylland in Friday’s Danish Superligaen top-of-the-table derby.
Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen: Betting Analysis
Manchester City has won three and drawn two of its five matches against FC Copenhagen. Two home wins over Copenhagen have netted seven goals for the Citizens. Four of the last five H2Hs between these teams finished with three goals.
Manchester City dominated the first leg in Copenhagen, and we expect the same at Etihad. Quality differs greatly between the teams. The citizens will be more optimistic after beating their local rivals three days ago. FC Copenhagen suffered a 0-2 loss against Midtjylland on Friday. They should not have allowed seven shots on target against a domestic rival before facing the Champions League champions. Manchester City to win by three or more goals at 2.10 is our bet.
We anticipate the Citizens to finish the game in the first half on Wednesday. In recent wins over Luton Town and Manchester City, they scored nine goals. In October 2022, Pep Guardiola’s crew scored five goals against FC Copenhagen at home. Two or more first-half goals are 2.00 odds.
