Manchester City - FC Copenhagen: Champions League Match Preview
The Lowdown
Manchester City will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Champions League when they host FC Copenhagen at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night. Pep Guardiola's side got their Group G campaign off to a winning start with a 4-0 victory over Sevilla last week, while Copenhagen were beaten 3-0 at home by Borussia Dortmund.
Team News
Manchester City will be without Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake through injury, but Kyle Walker and Rodri are both back in contention after missing the win over Sevilla. Copenhagen, meanwhile, will be without the suspended Denis Vavro and the injured Karlo Bartolec.
What the Managers Said
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "Copenhagen are a good team, they're very well organized and they have some good players. We'll need to be at our best to beat them."
FC Copenhagen manager Jacob Neestrup: "We know that Manchester City are one of the best teams in the world, but we're not here to just make up the numbers. We're here to compete and we'll be giving it our all to get a result."
Prediction
Manchester City are the clear favorites for this match, but Copenhagen have shown in the past that they can be a dangerous team on their day. However, it's hard to see past the Premier League champions, who should have too much quality for the Danish side.
