For the 4th matchday of the 7th group of the Champions League, Copenhagen welcomes Manchester City to Telia Parken. The group is completed by Dortmund and Sevilla, the top two in the ranking continue to the last 16 of the tournament, the third in the Europa League.
As expected Copenhagen could not look competitive last week in Manchester against City and were beaten very easily 5-0. He had a passive role throughout the match and saw the hosts come on strong from the start of the match to clean up the game and as it happened, conceding 3 goals in the first half and 2 more in the replay shaped the final result.
Thus, he remained at the bottom of the standings with 1 point, of course there is no reason to place in the top two, however he hopes for the 3rd place that leads to the Europa League.
But he didn't succeed either on Saturday for the league, he suffered another setback with a 1-1 draw at home to leaders Norgeland despite the fact that he took the lead in the 83' but in stoppage time he accepted the equalizer. At the end of the 12th game, she was in 7th place with 16 points and minus 8 from the top of the standings.
Another performance for City in the group, thrashing Copenhagen 5-0 last week and achieved its 3rd victory in as many matches in the group and essentially sealed its qualification to the next phase of the competition. He could have won with a bigger score, as after the 3 goals in the first and 2 in the second half, he missed many great opportunities, but he saw the opposing goalkeeper make a lot of saves.
But it also looks unstoppable in the league, on Saturday they easily beat Southampton at home with 4-0 scoring 2 goals in each half and with 4 different scorers. So she got her 3rd consecutive victory and remains in 2nd place with 23 points and minus 1 from the first Arsenal. The sixth home derby against Liverpool follows on Sunday.
A match with a huge favorite as on the one hand Copenhagen, which - lagging behind in quality anyway - is not in good condition and on the other hand, City, which on a mediocre night scares people. So in today's match the question is how many goals Pep Guardiola's team will stop. I think that City will enter strongly from the beginning of the match with the aim of clearing the three points easily and quickly.
Tip: Copenhagen - City Over 1,5 goals in the first half at odds 1.90
