Analysis and forecast for the round of 16 of the Champions League match “Copenhagen” – “Manchester City” (02/13/2024)
The national championship matches finished at the weekend and next will be the European stadium. On February 13, the first two games of the Champions League round of 16 will be played. In one of them, local FC Copenhagen will host Manchester City at the Parken Stadium. The starting whistle will sound at 23:00 Moscow time.

Copenhagen, not without luck, reached the round of 16 of the playoffs. He had problems even in the qualifying phase of the tournament. In the third qualifying round, the Club barely beat Sparta Prague (0-0 and 3-3, 4-2 on penalties), and in the playoff round Rakow (1-0 and 1-1).
In six matches of the Champions League group stage, Jakob Neestrup’s team beat Manchester United (4:3) and also beat Galatasaray (1:0). They also tied with the Turkish club (2-2) and Bayern (0-0). We lost to Munich (1-2) and Mancunians (0-1).
If the rivals had more stable clubs than Manchester United and Galatasaray, Copenhagen would most likely have been left without a European spring. We can say that he jumped over his head, taking advantage of his opponents’ problems.
In the last eight rounds of the Danish championship, Neestrup’s team only managed three wins and also drew twice. They lost to Midtjylland (0-2), Viborg (1-2) and Aarhus (1-2). Can Copenhagen at least give Manchester City a fight in this tone?

After overcoming a failed period of the season, Manchester City has gained great momentum. They won the Club World Cup and returned to the race for the Premier League title. The “citizens” occupy second place in the championship standings. The difference with the leader Liverpool is two points, but they still have a game less.
In the last six rounds of the English Championship, Pep Guardiola’s men defeated Everton (3-1 and 2-0), Sheffield United (2-0), Newcastle (3-2), Burnley (3-1) and Brentford (3:1). The most interesting thing is the second game with the Toffees. Its main protagonist was Erling Haaland, recently recovered from an injury. He scored a double.
Thus, the Norwegian set a unique record. He scored more goals than any other player in his first 50 Premier League games (51 goals). Haaland scored one of the goals of the game against Everton from a pass from Kevin De Bruyne, who had also recently recovered from a serious injury. Guardiola managed quite well without the two leaders of the club, but now things will go even better.
The Spanish specialist admitted that he could not imagine that after two months in the Netherlands hospital he would be back in shape. This season, Erling participated in 25 games for the Citizens in all official tournaments, in which he scored 21 goals and provided six assists.
In particular, thanks to Haaland’s efforts, Manchester City won all six rounds of the Champions League group stage. During this period, the team scored 18 goals and lost only seven. We suggest betting that IT2B will play 2.5 goals at odds of 2.10.
In 36 matches in all official tournaments, Josep Guardiola’s team scored up to 89 goals. And this despite Kevin De Bruyne missing most of the season due to injury. In the last four days of the Premier League, the Belgian scored one goal and four assists. Something tells us that in the near future the performance of the City team will be even greater.
Prediction and bets for the Champions League match Copenhagen – Manchester City on February 13, 2024
Copenhagen poses a greater threat at home than away. However, not even the support of his fans will save him from defeat and a large number of missed goals. Manchester City has an order of magnitude better squad composition and depth, football pattern and results. “Citizens” usually get a lot of points. The skill of its performers is beyond doubt.
Tender: Manchester City’s individual total exceeds 2.5 goals by 2.10.
