Copenhagen v Manchester United predictions

Manchester United needed an injury-time strike from Bruno Fernandes to claim a much-needed Premier League win at Fulham on Saturday but the Red Devils may struggle to follow up with three points against Copenhagen in the Champions League.

After losing 4-3 to Bayern Munich and 3-2 to Galatasaray in their first two Group A matches, United edged past Copenhagen 1-0 at Old Trafford on matchday three.

Goalkeeper Andre Onana was the home hero, saving a 97th-minute penalty from Jordan Larsson to ensure that Harry Maguire's 72nd-minute header remained the decisive goal.

It was a far from convincing display, however. Copenhagen had 16 shots to United's 15 and ten corners to their hosts' five, and the Danish champions are worth backing to avoid defeat on home turf.

They have responded to their disappointment at Old Trafford by beating Hvidovre 4-0 and Randers 4-2 in the Danish Superliga, either side of a 1-0 cup win at home to Midtjylland, and they stood firm against some high-class opponents in the Champions League last season.

Copenhagen drew 0-0 with Sevilla and Manchester City and 1-1 with Borussia Dortmund in the 2022-23 group stage and they gave Bayern Munich a scare this term, taking a second-half lead before late goals from Jamal Musiala and Mathys Tel fired Bayern to a 2-1 win.

The Danes looked on course for an impressive win at Galatasaray on matchday one, when they went 2-0 up before having Elias Jelert sent off and conceding in the 86th and 88th minutes to draw 2-2 in Istanbul.

Copenhagen's consistent Champions League performances, coupled with United's lack of attacking fluency, suggests it could be another tough night for Erik ten Hag, whose side were thumped 3-0 by Manchester City and Newcastle before their victory at Fulham.

Marcus Rashford missed the trip to Craven Cottage due to injury and could return in Copenhagen but United remain short of in-form forwards.

Striker Rasmus Hojlund, yet to score in the Premier League, has had better luck in Europe with a goal in the defeat to Bayern and a brace against Galatasaray and the Denmark international will be keen to impress against a Copenhagen squad including his younger twin brothers Oscar and Emil.

However, Hojlund senior failed to have a shot at Fulham in another disjointed display from Ten Hag's side and it could be worth chancing no goalscorer, which has copped in five of Copenhagen's last 15 Champions League home fixtures, at a juicy price.

Key stat

Five of Copenhagen's last 15 home Champions League games, including qualifiers, have ended 0-0.
