Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen. Shape of the Teams

On March 6th, Manchester City will host Copenhagen for the second leg of their match-up with City entering the game as the clear favourites.

The Citizens have reached the quarter-finals in the last six editions of the Champions League and clinched the title in the 2022/2023 season, aiming for a back-to-back win this season.

The first match between City and Copenhagen ended in a 1-3 victory for the Citizens, granting them an advantage as they prepare for the home leg.

However, City faces the challenge of balancing their ambitions in Europe with their pursuit of the Premier League title. This becomes especially challenging with the crucial upcoming match against Liverpool at Anfield.

Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen Prediction, Odds

Pick: Under 3.5 Goals
Odds: -113 (Tonybet)

City have been in amazing form, winning 17 of their last 19 matches. However, the hosts do not need to win at any cost in this match.

The Cityzens played a rather difficult match against Manchester United, which demanded considerable effort and emotional investment from the team. Moreover, Guardiola’s team will face one of the most crucial matches in the Premier League against Liverpool next Sunday.

Therefore, Pep Guardiola will likely leverage squad rotation to manage his team’s physical condition and emotional reserves.

Copenhagen showcased solid away performances in the group stage, keeping Bayern Munich at a 0-0 draw while suffering a narrow 1-0 loss against Manchester United.

While Copenhagen’s chances of scoring a goal are slim, Manchester City’s focus on the forthcoming match with Liverpool suggests they might not press for a high scoreline against the Danish team while trying to save energy and resting some of their key players. This makes it likely to expect under 3.5 goals in this meeting.

Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen Betting Tip

Pick: City (-2) Handicap
Odds: -145 (Tonybet)

Manchester City’s dominance in the first match against Copenhagen was clear, with a staggering 75% possession, an average of 3.53 expected goals (xG) and 26 shots on target. These stats highlight the obvious gap between these two teams.

Copenhagen’s previous visit to the Etihad – in the previous season – ended in a disastrous 5-0 defeat, in which the Danes didn’t stand a chance. It would be naive to expect a different outcome this time.

Despite holding a comfortable advantage from the first match, it is important to understand that Pep Guardiola’s commitment to excellence suggests that the Cityzens will not ease off.

City scored exactly three goals in all seven Champions League matches, indicating their effectiveness in front of goal.

With Jeremy Doku shining on the left flank, Kevin De Bruyne weaving his midfield magic, and Erling Haaland’s goal-scoring threat – we can expect another strong performance from Manchester City.

Add to that Phil Foden’s exceptional form, who scored a brace against Manchester United, and I think that Man City will win this game with a handicap as they look to limit Copenhagen’s opportunities.
