Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen preview and betting tips for Wednesday’s Champions League second-leg showdown from the Etihad.
Making real history last season as they became the first English club since 1999 to be crowned treble champions, Pep Guardiola’s superstar squad have their sights firmly set on defending their maiden European crown this year.
Although Copenhagen might have sprung a European upset back in December as they punched a knockout stage ticket, the Danish heavyweights face another monumental challenge when they arrive at the Etihad on Wednesday night.
Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen Prediction
Mounting a stellar comeback in Sunday’s Manchester derby as they eventually clinched a 3-1 victory on home soil, City are in the midst of another major purple patch. In fact, along with winning all of their previous four domestic appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 11-3, Guardiola’s men will be looking to officially punch their
Champions League quarter-final spot with a statement at the Etihad. Not suffering a single defeat in any of their previous 19 straight showdowns, it is no surprise that City are tipped as a landslide contender here.
Falling to a 3-1 loss when they welcomed Manchester City to the Parken Stadion for their first-leg battle on February 13th, Copenhagen really couldn’t have wished for a tougher challenge over the past fortnight. Failing to pick up any kind of momentum over the weekend as they suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Midtjylland, Jacob Neestrup’s men should also be concerned by their most recent trip to the Etihad. Hit with a 5-0 drumming when they arrived in the blue half of Manchester in group stage action last season, Copenhagen will simply be looking to produce a more resilient display.
