- Competition: Champions League
- Date: Wednesday, 6th March 2024
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
The second leg of the face-off between Manchester City and FC Copenhagen is set for Wednesday night. Having secured a 3-1 victory in the first game, the current Champions League victors are on the brink of advancing to the quarterfinal. Already in Denmark, Manchester City has demonstrated that they are a formidable opponent for a team like FC Copenhagen.
Having secured titles in the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Supercup, Manchester City, under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, is heavily favored to win three trophies this season. This would position them among the most elite squads in football history. The team has been on a winning streak, having triumphed in their last four matches across all competitions. Their most recent victory was a 3-1 win against city rivals, Manchester United, at home. Manchester City dominated the match with 74% possession and 24 more shots on goal than their opponents. It appears that the team is currently in top form.
FC Copenhagen is significantly the most underpowered team in the Champions League knockout phase, making their presence there a substantial honor. They have one more game to play in this competition, but will then shift their attention to the Danish national league for the rest of the season. Currently, they hold the third position on the league table, trailing the leading team, Midtjylland, by two points. In their previous game, they suffered a 2-0 defeat on the road against Midtjylland. The home team proved superior in converting goal-scoring opportunities, leaving FC Copenhagen without any points.
Man City vs FC Copenhagen pick: Man City to win and cover AH -2 spread
Manchester City has been performing exceptionally well recently, with nine goals scored in their last two matches. Conversely, FC Copenhagen conceded two goals in their previous game. The Danish team is likely to face numerous challenges at Etihad Stadium. Betting on Manchester City to win and cover seems to be a fitting wager for this match.
