Match Preview Prediction Manchester Cit
After an in Sunday's Manchester Derby, Manchester City will now face Danish club FC Copenhagen in the third game of their Champions League campaign.It will be the first time the two sides have faced off against each other since City beat Copenhagen 2-1 in the UEFA Cup in 2009 in the Round of 32, which saw the Sky Blues advance to the Round of 16.It's been a positive start thus far for City in the competition, who have won their first two games in their group stage against Sevilla and Boru sia Dortmund respectively.The Sky Blues cruised to in their first game but found much more

While the Danish club were easily beaten by Boru sia Dortmund 3-0 in their first match, they did manage to hold Sevilla to a 0-0 draw in their second game.However, we saw what City were able to do to that Sevilla side and if you take a glance at Copenhagen's recent league form it hardly fills you with confidence regarding their prospects of gaining a
