Why is Manchester City a safe bet to win?

At the time of this writing, the Citizens were up 2-1 over rival Manchester United. The reason we must point out the score is because earlier in the match, United had a 1-0 lead over the Sky Blues.

The fact City rallied tells us how good of a club this is. The Citizens know how to play one way, go as hard as possible and dominate their opponents. Just because they’ve got a 2 goals lead over Copenhagen, it doesn’t mean Pep’s team will pull back.

• Ederson
• Aki
• Dias
• Rodri
• Akanji

• Nunes
• Grealish

Why is Copenhagen a safe bet to win?

Copenhagen’s form isn’t terrible. The massive dog in this shows 3 wins and a couple of losses in their last 5. One of he losses was to Man City in the first leg.

The other loss came against Midtjylland. Also, even though this is at Etihad Stadium, Copenhagen offers a decent spread line. For +2.5 goals, we must only risk -135. That’s an excellent value play.

Possible Line-Up

• Grabara
• Diks
• Vavro
• Jelert
• Ankersen
• Jensen
• Goncalves
• Lerager
• Claesson
• Achouri
• Elyounnousi

Copenhagen’s Last 5

• Loss: 2-0 vs. Midtjylland

• Win: 0-3 vs. Silkeborg IF
• Loss: 1-3 vs. Manchester City
• Win: 1-0 vs. Galatasaray

Copenhagen vs. Manchester City Betting Prediction

The problem with backing Copenhagen is that Manchester City has begun to step it up. City absolutely destroyed Luton Town on the road in a 6-2 match.

Earling Haaland scored 5 goals. Haaland isn’t the only player who can make his own shot that Guardiola can send to the pitch. Bernardo Silva, Juan Alvarez, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, and others can also score.

So even if Guardiola sits his top players for a long stretch, it won’t matter. City is so deep that they beat Copenhagen by at least 3 and cover.
