For the 3rd matchday of the 7th group of the Champions League, Manchester City welcomes Copenhagen to the Etihad Stadium. The group is completed by Dortmund and Sevilla, the first two continue to the last 16 of the competition, the third in the Europa League.
City is the favorite of the group and showed it in the first two matches by achieving equal number of victories. In the premiere, they crushed Sevilla in Spain with 2-0, then prevailed in Dortmund with 2-1 and of course they are in first place in the group with 6 points. Thus, with another victory today, they will essentially lock the qualification to the next phase of the competition.
It comes from Sunday's impressive win for the Premier League as City thrashed compatriots United 6-3! In the first half she was impressive and scored 4 times, only when she relaxed did her opponent manage to somehow make her presence felt and the honorable final score for United was formed. With this victory, Pep Guardiola's team reached 20 points, with a record of 6 wins and 2 draws, and is in 2nd place in the standings and at minus 1 from the first Arsenal.
Participating in a difficult group, Copenhagen after 2 matches is in 3rd place, tied with Sevilla, with 1 point. In the first match of the group, they were defeated in Germany by Dortmund 3-0, while in the 2nd matchday they drew 0-0 at home with Sevilla, a team with which it seems to be the most feasible to put down points and continue in the European Cups.
In the Danish league, it comes from a 1-0 home win over Aarhus with a goal that he scored with the entrance of the match in the last quarter. A black spot is the injury of Carlos Zeka who a few months after returning from a torn cruciate ligament, he hit his cruciate ligament again, one of which he had surgery on and is expected to be out for a long time.
The end of the competition found Copenhagen in 6th place with 17 points and at minus 7 from 1 Norzeland in the final of the 1st round.
There is no question of the eventual winner of today's encounter, only interested in how many goals City will stop. The English team is coming from a big win in the league and shows that they are in a terrible situation at the same time that Copenhagen in the first two matches of the group did not impress while in the league they continue to have ups and downs in their performance. I think City will come on strong from the start of the match and can easily score at least twice.
