Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen Prediction

Manchester City completely dominated the first leg in Danish capital and we expect to witness a similar scenario this time around at Etihad Stadium. The gulf in quality between the two teams is massive. Moreover, the Citizens will come into the tie in much higher spirits after the win over city rivals three days ago.

On the other side, FC Copenhagen did not look great in a 0-2 defeat at Midtjylland on Friday. The fact they conceded seven shots on target against a domestic rival does not bode well ahead of the clash with the Champions League holders. We will back Manchester City to win by three or more goals difference at the 2.10 odds.

We expect the Citizens to finish the job in the first half of the affair on Wednesday. They bagged nine goals in the last two wins over Luton Town and Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s machinery has put five goals past FC Copenhagen in the previous home clash against them in October 2022. You can back two or more goals in the first half at the 2.00 odds.
