We predict Manchester City to win 4-1. Copenhagen may have put on some brave performances in the UCL this term, but Manchester City are ruthless under Pep Guardiola, and won’t hesitate to dismantle Copenhagen in Manchester this week.
There’s a massive chance Erling Haaland will score at least one goal. Copenhagen will struggle to hold Manchester City, and with Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden at their best, Haaland is likely to get at least a goal, to add to his recent six goals against Luton Town and Manchester United.
Manchester City will host Copenhagen in high spirits, after they came from a 1-0 first half defeat to beat Manchester United 3-1 in last weekend’s Manchester derby. They have won their last five league matches, just to name a few, and are only one point behind league leaders, Liverpool, after 27 matches.
Copenhagen are heading into this game in low spirits, following last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Midtjylland away from home in the Superliga. They lost the reverse fixture 3-1 to Manchester City at home last month, and due to their current inconsistent form, the Danish outfits are likely to crash out of the competition this week, as City are in formidable form.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva, Foden, Haaland, Doku
Copenhagen: Grabara, Meling, McKenna, Vavro, Jelert, Hojlund, Falk, Mattson, Achouri, Claesson, Elyounoussi
