Manchester City take on the visitors Copenhagen in the round 3 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 5th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester city gradually turned the Premier League from the most competitive national football league in the world into one-team league . Yes, now there is a curious, unexpected competitor, Arsenal, which remains a club with a single misfire - in all other rounds, the Gunners managed to win, which allows them to stay in the sole 1st place. But still, it seems so far that the “citizens” with Holland will be able, sooner or later, to get ahead of the capital team. Much more important, perhaps, to prove themselves in the Champions League. After reaching the historic final, there was an incredible defeat in Madrid against Real Madrid, which led to a shocking exit from the tournament. Now, of course, the task is set, openly or not, to finally take the title. So far there are no problems there. The crisis Sevilla was defeated on the road 4-0. But with "Borussia" (Dortmund) the blunders of the goalkeeper of the opponents helped - they allowed them to snatch a strong-willed 2-1.

Copenhagen dominate in the national football of Denmark. By the way, right now everything is not going well for the wards of Jess Torup - there they have already many failures , not only losing points, but also losing repeatedly, including to direct competitor, Midtjylland. At first, such misfires were offset by results in the Champions League. There, the "lions" were able to knock out "Trabzonspor" in qualifying: 2-1 at home, a goalless draw on the road. Yes, the group stage started with a devastating defeat to Borussia Dortmund - 0-3 in Germany. But then, at home, "Copenhagen" was able to stand "to zero" with "Sevilla". It seems that it is with the Spaniards, who are now frankly out of shape, that the Danes will have to fight for 3rd place. Although with the British you should at least try to cling to points.
In 2009, the parties crossed in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. Then, with difficulty, but Manchester City managed to pass the Danes: 2-2 in Copenhagen, 2-1 in England. Bookmakers are seen as the undisputed favorite in this confrontation. And it is unlikely that Copenhagen will be able to oppose something, especially on the road. We recommend betting on the victory of the “citizens” with a handicap of “-2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -2.5 handicap.
