The UEFA Champions League is back in action this week with a new round of games, starting on Tuesday at the Parken Stadium when FC Copenhagen takes on Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team.
FC Copenhagen has struggled this season and is eighth in the Danish Superliga. The home team will need to step it up in this game after playing a 1-1 tie with Nordsjaelland over the weekend.
Manchester City, on the other hand, is now in 2nd spot in the Premier League standings and has looked brilliant this year. The Cityzens easily defeated Southampton by a score of 4-0 in their previous match, and they will want to repeat that performance this week.
The Citizens are now in first place in Group G with nine points after three games, while Copenhagen is last with just one point in the group thus far.

Prediction
Copenhagen 0-3 Manchester City
Currently, in outstanding form, Manchester City has been practically unstoppable for the previous month. Erling Haaland is in outstanding goal-scoring form and hopes to set a few records this year. Copenhagen could put up some resistance, but there is only one team winning this game.
