FC Copenhagen vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Manchester United were able to pull out a desperately-needed victory against Fulham on the weekend thanks to a goal in second half added time. It relieved a bit of the pressure on Erik ten Hag but a loss in Copenhagen would intensify the critcism of his reign at Old Trafford since taking over last season. The 1-0 win at Fulham followed back-to-back 3-0 defeats for Erik ten Hag's side at home to Manchester City in the Premier League and Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup. The success at Craven Cottage was the latest in a string of highly unconvincing victories over the 30 days. United's last win came against Copenhagen at Old Trafford when the two teams contested matchday three of the group stage. The 20-time English league champions labored to a 1-0 victory on the day and had to be bailed out with a 97th minute penalty saved by Andre Onana. Before that, United had lost 4-3 at Bayern Munich in their opening group game and then disappointly been beaten 3-2 at home by Galatasaray.

Copenhagen put up a good fight in their trip to the northwest of England two weeks ago and deserved to take something from the match. The current  DanishhSuperliga champions responded to the Champions League loss by ripping off three straight wins on domestic soil. Copenhagen ran out 4-0 winners over Hvidovre in the league and 1-0 winners over Midtjylland in the cup at Parken Stadium. Their most recent fixture was a 4-2 away win over Randers on the weekend, marking the fourth win for Copenhagen in their last five matches across all competitions. They've now won their last three straight in front of their home fans, netting seven and conceding just once. However, it's a lot easier to do well in their domestic game than in European competition. So far in this group the Danes have had chances to earn more points than the single one that they have. They led 2-0 at Galatasaray but conceded two late goals and even went 1-0 up at home to Bayern Munich but lost 2-1.
