LiontipsManchester City vs Copenhagen. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 UEFA Champions League (October 5, 2022).
Command Analysis
Manchester City are intent to win the Champions League this year. In the previous years, Pep Guardiola has come close to this trophy, but this might finally be his year. Man City got a very easy group - their opponents are Sevilla, Copenhagen, and Borussia Dortmund. In the first two games, the City team easily beat Sevilla (4:0) and Borussia (2:1).
In the English Premier League, the reigning champions are currently in 2nd place, trailing Arsenal by one point. They won six out of eight games and recorded two draws, against Aston Villa (1:1) and Newcastle (3:3).
Copenhagen didn't look very impressive in the previous season, but they still managed to win the domestic league. A colourless performance continued in the new season as the Lions lost six out of 11 games, leading to Jess Thorup's dismissal. Jacob Neestrup is currently the manager of Copenhagen.
In the first game under Neestrup, Copenhagen got a slender victory over Aarhus (1:0). As for their Champions League efforts, the Danish champions lost to Borussia (0:3) in the first game, but got a draw against Sevilla (0:0) at home. They still have a chance to finish in the top-3 and qualify for the Europa League playoffs.

Tip and bets
Manchester City are the strong favourites and have a good chance of securing qualification for the playoffs. We expect the English champions to go for that chance, because they also have a tough job of defending the Premier League title. The hosts will probably keep in mind their upcoming league game and try to save energy and avoid injuries, so we do not expect a crushing victory. Plus, the visitors will probably park the bus - we expect Copenhagen to maintain the handicap of 3.5 goals.
Our prediction – Asian handicap (+3.5) to Copenhagen
A few days ago, Manchester City had an intense game against Manchester United. The City team won (6:3), but spent a lot of energy and will try to take it easy in the upcoming game. Nevertheless, the difference in class and quality is huge, so we predict a high-scoring win.
Second bet - Manchester City to win by 3 goals
