Copenhagen take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 4 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 11th at Parken Stadium (Copenhagen).
Copenhagen are considered as an underdog in this group. The Lions can claim the status of the best team in their country. Yes, and in European competition they are an experienced fighter. True, this season on the domestic, Danish arena, the recognized favorite does not do much. Already the championship is in full swing, and the results are unusually mediocre. Partially for this, they were rehabilitated by the fact that in the Champions League qualification they managed to knock out a difficult opponent, Trabzonspor (2-1 at home, 0-0 away). But after that there were 0-3 in Dortmund with Borussia, and a goalless draw at home with the crisis Sevilla. On Wednesday, as expected, there was no chance against the main favorite of the group, or even the entire tournament draw.

Manchester City are clearly already thinking about the playoffs. The “Citizens” under Pep Guardiola finally established, if not dominance, then leadership in the Premier League. Yes, now there is an unexpectedly frisky Arsenal. But with such a great squad, strengthened in the summer, and with such performance from the newcomer, Erling Haaland, they do not believe in intrigue in the domestic arena. However, they expect a breakthrough in the Champions League from the Catalan. In the season before the last they had reached the first final, but with a defeat there. And in the spring there was an incredible “fail” in Madrid with the future victor, Real Madrid. However, even here the group stage has long turned into a formality for the British. Yes, after 4-0 in Sevilla, they had to sweat at home, pulling out a strong-willed 2-1 with Borussia. In the 3rd round, Haaland and the company had easily beat the underdog.
If you do not take into account last Wednesday, then the teams intersected in 2009. Then it was not easy for Manchester City: 2-2 in Denmark, 2-1 in England. Again, it all comes down not to the question of the outcome, but only to the intrigue of how confidently the visitors will win. We bet that Manchester City will win with a handicap of "-2 goals".
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -2.0 handicap.
