After an awful start to their Champions League campaign, Manchester United are back in action tonight as they face FC Copenhagen in an effort to try and redeem themselves after back-to-back losses in the competition. Having met three times in the past, it currently stands as 2 wins for United and 1 for Copenhagen, however the Reds first two losses in the group will certainly have them pressing for all three points and trying to make that 3 wins from 4 after tonight’s game. In fact, that seems to be the prediction from the bookies, as United appear to be heavy favourites to win.
Looking at the Manchester United vs Copenhagen odds at BetVictor over 90 minutes, at the time of writing, Manchester United odds have them at 2/7*, meaning for every £10 bet, the return would be £12.86. The FC Copenhagen odds, however, have them at 7/1*, meaning for every £10 bet, the return would be £80. It seems that despite a worrysome injury list on United’s bench, including Wan-Bissaka, Malacia, Shaw, Martinez, Sancho and more, not to mention Casemiro’s suspension, that the general consensus is that FC Copenhagen will still struggle to emerge victorious against a United team that until recently, was breaking records for their worst start to a campaign.
So just who might play tonight, as the Reds battle for all three points at the Theatre of Dreams? Perhaps the name on the tip of everyone’s tongue is new signing Høljund, a former FC Copenhagen player from 2020-2022 having grown up in Hørsholm, Copenhagen, who has already scored three goals for United in the competition, 1 against Bayern and 2 against Galatasaray. Could he be the difference between the two sides when they meet tonight at 8pm? With three games left to play after this fixture and already trailing Bayern by 6 points and Galatasaray by 4, the answer is simple, whether it is Høljund who scores or another of the Red Devils, tonight is a must win event for them, as they attempt to chase their last success in the competition, all the way back in 2008 when they pipped Chelsea 6-5 on penalties.
