Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen Predictions

• Manchester City have won to nil in four of their last seven home games.
• Manchester City have won nine successive Champions League matches.
• Julian Alvarez has scored four goals in four Champions League appearances this season.

Cityzens flying high

Manchester City clinched a crucial derby win on Sunday and they can afford to rest some key players for Copenhagen’s visit after a dominant 3-1 win in the first leg.

That victory was the Cityzens’ ninth-successive win in the Champions League and they head into Wednesday’s game unbeaten in 19 competitive matches, with 17 of those ending in victory.

Copenhagen’s Manchester woes

Copenhagen, by contrast, lost away to Midtjylland at the weekend and don’t have the best prior experience at the Etihad, with their last trip here in 2022 ending in a 5-0 thrashing.

They also lost 1-0 the last time they visited Manchester, when Manchester United beat them in their failed group-stage campaign. Even if Pep Guardiola rests a few faces, another loss in the north of England is expected.

Alvarez to strike again on Wednesday

City have won four of their last seven home games without conceding and kept a clean sheet in both meetings with Copenhagen last season, so backing them to win to nil appeals and I’m also going for a 3-0 correct score prediction after the hosts scored exactly three goals in two of their last five at the Etihad.

Julian Alvarez stands out as a solid anytime goalscorer pick, given the chance of rotation from the home side. The Argentine has scored 13 goals for the club this season, four of which came in the Champions League.
