Copenhagen managed a 0-0 home draw in last year’s group stage meeting, but City had a 5-0 first-leg victory in their pocket. This one should be more like the latter match. City have scored at least three goals in four of their past six overall, and Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are both healthy and tearing up defenses. The question is whether the hosts will score, but I don’t think it will matter. City are the reigning champs, while Copenhagen are making their first appearance in the knockout stage, and first since 2010-11. They’ll simply be overwhelmed.
Man City should be too strong for FC Copenhagen in this game. These teams are no strangers to one another, as they were in the same group last season. The matchup at the Etihad finished 5-0 to City, a very lopsided clash all around. Copenhagen held Pep Guardiola’s men to a 0-0 draw in Denmark, but Man City didn't put much effort into that game, and Guardiola rested star striker Erling Haaland. They will be fired up on Tuesday and are on a 10-game winning streak, so they should win it comfortably.
