FC Copenhagen vs Man City: Copenhagen’s fifth appearance in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stages – and their first since 2016/17 – hasn’t gone to plan, and they remain one of two sides yet to score after going winless through their first three matches (D1, L2).
But Pep Guardiola will know he can’t bank the three points just yet, considering his side has lost two of their last four UCL group stage away matches (W2). This will actually be City’s first trip to Denmark since the 2008/09 season when they visited twice.
Prediction: 1-4
Maccabi Haifa vs Juventus: Italian side had a comfortable 3-1 win over the host last week and would likely do the same just to secure at least a spot in the next round.
Prediction: 1-2
AC Milan vs Chelsea: The Blues pulled out a wonderous performance against Milan 3-0 with Wesley Fofana opening his goal tally with Chelsea. The winner in this tie automatically has an upper hand in winning the group.
Prediction: 1-2
Celtic vs RB Leipzig: The German side won this tie comfortably but as they travel to Scotland there might be an upset as Celtic always perform well on their home soil.
Prediction: 1-1
D. Zagreb vs Salzburg: A win for the away side will see them climb the log as they are with 5 points. Zagreb are just with a win in the group and are currently at the bottom.
Prediction: 1-0
