Bayern Munich v FC Copenhagen Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Bayern Munich v FC Copenhagen UCL Prediction

The clash between Copenhagen and Bayern at the Parken Stadium on October 3rd was the first between these two sides in UEFA competition, with the Danes producing a rousing performance and even taking the lead against the Bavarians before goals from Jamal Musiala and substitute Tel secured a win for the away team.

Copenhagen also produced a superb display when defeating Manchester United 4-3 in a chaotic game before the international break. However, this match turned on a controversial red card for United forward Marcus Rashford in the first half, at which point the Red Devils led 2-0 through a pair of Rasmus Højlund strikes and were in complete control of the game.

I expect Bayern to exert a similar level of control at the Allianz Arena, with the side averaging 56.3% possession across their four UCL games so far (Copenhagen’s average is much lower at 45.5%). Thomas Tuchel’s side are also incredibly ruthless and efficient in attack, with Bayern’s goals tally exceeding their xG value by +3.6 goals and only Atletico Madrid performing better according to this metric.

Summer signing Harry Kane has been key to this achievement, with the England striker having scored four UCL goals already from an xG value of just 3.0. Of course, the real question here is whether Tuchel will rest some of his charges with qualification and top spot in Group A already confirmed, but Bayern’s starting 11 should still be strong enough to overcome their relatively limited opponents.

🥅 Bayern Munich v FC Copenhagen: Over/Under 2.5 Goals

The odds clearly imply a higher probability of over 2.5 goals being scored in this match, and with good reason too.

1️⃣ Bayern Update

While Bayern may have started their campaign with an underwhelming 3-0 defeat to Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup, they’ve since lost just one of 17 games in all competitions and remain undefeated in both the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League. They’ve also scored 58 goals at a rate of 3.41 per game during this sequence, with Harry Kane having become the fastest-ever player to score 15 Bundesliga goals and contributed 21 goals (and seven assists) in just 16 appearances since his summer arrival. Kane has also struck up an impressive understanding with the excellent Leroy Sane, who has nine goals and seven assists to his name in 18 appearances this season.

While Jamal Musiala incurred a muscle injury against Galatasaray on November 8th, he recently completed an individual running session and could be fit in time for the visit of Copenhagen (although whether Tuchel risks him or not is another question). Centre back Matthijs de Ligt remains out with an inner knee ligament tear, while youngsters Tarek Buchmann (muscle injury) and Tom Hülsmann (hamstring) are long-term absentees.

2️⃣ FC Copenhagen Update

Copenhagen have a win rate of 59.26% in 2023/24, having triumphed in 16 of their 27 matches across all competitions and incurred four defeats. They’ve also scored 62 goals and conceded 32, with the latter figure highlighting the side’s occasional defensive vulnerability (especially at the very highest level). In the Champions League proper, they’ve conceded eight goals in four matches at a rate of 2.00 per game, while they also shipped three against Icelandic minnows Breiðablik and Sparta Prague respectively during UCL qualifying. All eyes will be on 18-year-old Swedish sensation Roony Bardghji for the Danes, with the forward having scored the winner against Man United and struck 10 goals in his 24 appearances this season.

Both midfielder William Clem (broken foot) and Davit Khocholava (knee injury) remain long-term absentees for Copenhagen, and they’re not expected to return until the New Year. However, left-back Birger Meling is nearing a return as he recovers from a muscle fibre tear, although the visit to Bayern may come a little too soon for him.
