Copenhagen vs Manchester United Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Copenhagen vs Manchester United UCL Prediction

United’s win at Old Trafford nearly two weeks ago was their third in four encounters with Copenhagen, with the Danes’ sole victory coming at the Parken Stadium in the 2006/07 Champions League group stage. They’ve also contested 101 European Cup or Champions League games during their history (winning 41 of these), whereas United will play their 297th match in Europe’s premier club competition at Old Trafford on November 8th.

Although United have averaged more possession than their Group A rivals across the three games so far (48.7% vs 43.35), the two sides had an equal share of the ball at Old Trafford last time out. Copenhagen also carved out the better and clearer chances before Harry Maguire’s opener, although this had more to do with a lack of structure in the United midfield and the team’s disjointed shape during transition. I expect them to tighten up in Copenhagen, while the likely inclusion of Cristian Eriksen in midfield should help Erik ten Hag’s men to keep the ball better and minimise counterattacks against them.

Young striker Rasmus Hojlund has also saved his best form in the Champions League, with the former Copenhagen hitman scoring three times so far from an expected goals value of just 1.5. I think he could well add to his haul in midweek, and while it may not be pretty, I’m tipping United to claim a much-needed win following a tense and relatively low scoring encounter.

⚽ Copenhagen vs Manchester United: Both Teams To Score

Copenhagen have played 24 matches across all competitions this season, while they’ve failed to score in only three of these encounters. However, one of these blanks was drawn against United at Old Trafford, and despite their own lack of goals through 2023/24, the Red Devils have failed to score in just four of their 16 games this season.

Yes	1.62	1.60	1.62	1.60	1.67

🥅 Copenhagen vs Manchester United: Over/Under 2.5 Goals

Between them, both teams have contested 40 matches in all competitions this season, which have in turn yielded a total of 128 goals at a rate of 3.20 per game. So, although both sides of short of a proven, top class goalscorer, the odds are implying a higher probability that over 2.5 goals scored will be scored in the game between Copenhagen and Manchester United.

Over 2.5 Goals	1.73	1.73	1.69	1.70	1.70
Under 2.5 Goals	2.00	2.05	2.03	2.00	2.10

1️⃣ Copenhagen Update

Copenhagen now sits on top of the Danish Superliga, with a comfortable 4-0 home win over Hvidovre seeing them leapfrog bitter rivals Brøndby. They now have nine wins and 29 points from 13 games in the Danish top-flight too, while they’ve won 14 (58.33%) of 26 matches in all competitions since the beginning of the season. Interestingly, they’ve played nine UCL games (including qualifiers) through 2023/24, although they’ve only emerged victorious in three of these matches and are yet to win during the group stage. So, while the side has been competitive against Galatasaray, Bayern and United in Group A so far, they arguably lack the requisite experience and cutting edge at this level.

Copenhagen may be without some key players for the visit of Manchester United, including long-term absentee William Clem (broken foot). Centre back Davit Khocholava is also recovering from knee surgery, while fellow defender Birger Meling has a muscle fibre tear that could keep him out until the end of November. Worryingly, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Valdemar Lund and Diogo Gonçalves could all miss out with knocks too, with each of these players featuring in the squad at Old Trafford in gameweek three.

2️⃣ Man United Update

Despite United’s patchy form and unconvincing performances through 2023/24, they’ve now won four of their last six EPL games (as many as Manchester City during this timeframe), while they sit sit just six points off the top four. So, despite enduring their worst start to a top-flight season since 1962/63 and losing eight of the 16 matches they’ve contested in all competitions, they continue to grind out results and showcased an improved level of performance all over the pitch at Craven Cottage last time out. Their win over Copenhagen towards the end of October was also their first in the UCL since a 2-0 victory at Valencia November 23rd, 2021.

United will travel to Denmark without Lisandro Martinez (foot injury) and Luke Shaw (muscle), while Dutch full back Tyrell Malacia remains absent with an unknown injury complaint too. Influential Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has also been ruled out for several weeks with a knock. Young winger Amad Diallo is continuing his recovery from a knee injury, although precocious midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have both returned to the fold during the previous week. Marcus Rashford also missed the game against Fulham after failing a fitness test, but he’s expected to be available in Denmark.
