Manchester Town vs FC Copenhagen Predictions: Pointers and Odds

UEFA Champions League holders Manchester City extended their unbeaten run to 19 matches with a win over the local rivals Manchester United at the weekend. That run includes a 3-1 win over Copenhagen in Denmark and it would be one of the biggest shocks in the history of the tournament if City fail to progress.

Three is the magic number

Manchester City are the red-hot favourite to be the winner of this fixture at odds of 1.13 with Bet9ja. Despite this, I am taking a chance on an interesting quirk in their Champions League stats for the first of my tips.

City’s 3-1 first leg win in Denmark marked their seventh consecutive win in this season’s competition and they have scored exactly three goals in every fixture. Four of seven came via a 3-1 scoreline, including their recent triumph over Manchester United on Sunday.

Golden Foden to continue his hot streak

Manchester City’s boss Pep Guardiola hailed Phil Foden as the “best player in the Premier League right now”, following his two goals in the Manchester derby on Sunday. The England international has netted seven goals in his last seven appearances.

This aligns with a spike in Foden’s output. He has taken 55 shots in his last 11 games. That is exactly five per outing, proving the adage: “If you don’t shoot, you don’t score”.

De Bruyne’s brilliant assist impossible to resist

It was Phil Foden who stroked home City’s third goal in the head-to-head in Denmark, securing a two-goal cushion. The strike came from Kevin De Bruyne’s superb work and a perfect cutback into the 23-year-old’s path.

Since returning from injury, the Belgian international has provided 11 assists in his first 11 appearances across all competitions. Despite drawing a blank in the Manchester derby on Sunday, De Bruyne still created six chances, more than any other player in the match.

Quiet night for the man in the middle

For the last of my predictions in this game, I am eyeing another recent trend that seems to offer very attractive odds. Despite its reputation for being a passionate, hot-tempered affair, there was just one card shown in Sunday’s Manchester derby and it went to United.

Manchester City also kept it clean in the first leg of this tie, with none of their players getting booked. A look at the head-to-head stats shows the two sides met here in this competition in October 2022, with Pep’s men running out 5-0 winners without picking up a single caution.
