Copenhagen take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 4 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 8th at Parken Stadium (Copenhagen).
Copenhagen are currently in last place, but they might still surprise. It seems that the Lions aren't having much luck in this tournament right now. Perhaps Fortuna is compensating for the Danes' qualification, as they only had trouble with Brøndby then. They eliminated Prague's Sparta in a penalty shootout, and then scored just one more goal than Raków. This autumn, everything has been the opposite: they were leading Galatasaray in Istanbul by two goals until the 86th minute but ended up with only a draw. Against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Onana saved a penalty in added time. They even opened the scoring at home against Bayern Munich but conceded two in response, one from Telê in the 83rd minute. As a result, instead of 5 points, they only have 1.

After Sir Alex left, it seems like the Red Devils entered a sort of time loop. Managers who initially achieve success and offer hope for the revival of the club's formidable name tend to falter in their second year. So far, Ten Hag is following in Solskjær's footsteps. Last season was relatively successful for Erik, finishing in 3rd place in the Premier League and winning the EFL Cup. However, they've already been eliminated from the EFL Cup this season, losing 0-3 to Newcastle at home. In the Premier League, they've had an equal number of wins and losses. Their return to the Champions League wasn't particularly inspiring either, losing 3-4 in an entertaining match against Bayern in Munich, followed by a 2-3 home loss to Galatasaray. They were on the verge of failure yet again but managed to win against the Danes, thanks to a goal from Maguire and Onana's save from a penalty in the 90+ minute.
English teams have struggled against this opponent before. In 2006, they exchanged home victories with the Danes in the group stage of the Champions League. In the COVID-19 year 2020, in the only quarter-final of the Europa League, Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty to win 1-0 in extra time. The momentum of favoritism continues, and Manchester United are still the clear favorite. However, against such an opponent, the Danes won't lose at home.
Prediction for the match: Copenhagen not to lose (1X).
