Bayern Munich vs Copenhagen prediction

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich will look to maintain their 100% record in this year’s Champions League when they welcome surprise package Copenhagen to the Allianz Arena in their Group A return leg. The Bavarians have won all four of their opening group games and have already punched their ticket to the knockout phase as runaway group winners. Despite that, they have shown no signs of taking their feet off the pedal and they will definitely approach this game in much the same fashion. A 1-0 win away at FC Koln at the weekend ensured they kept tabs with Leverkusen atop the domestic league in what is shaping up to be a two-horse race between them.

Having failed to win any of their opening three group games, FC Copenhagen pulled off a coup on matchday 4 as they beat Manchester United 4-3 in dramatic fashion to move from bottom of the group to 2nd behind the hosts. Only a point separates them with Manchester United who dropped to the bottom and they are also tied with third-placed Galatasaray. Everything is therefore on the line coming into this round of matches, with Galatasaray hosting Man United in the other corresponding fixture.

Both of these teams have shown an affinity for high-scoring games and we pretty much expect the trend to hold here. Bayern have nothing to lose and they will definitely play their free-flowing style. Copenhagen on their part have no choice but to commit to try to get goals here to give themselves a fighting chance from the group. With this in mind, we fancy another thriller that should see a bucketload of goals. We are therefore picking Over 3.5 Goals as our initial Bayern Munich vs Copenhagen prediction.

Main tip: Over 3.5 Goals

Our Bayern Munich vs Copenhagen predictions

According to the statistics and the odds of the bookmakers, we suggest the following tips:

Prediction 1: Over 3.5 Goals

5 of Bayern’s last 8 matches across all competitions have had at least 4 goals; including 2 of their 4 group matches. The Bavarians haven’t quite been as solid at the back, and so as much as they are scoring goals for fun, they too are soaking in quite a few. They are yet to keep a clean sheet in any of their 4 group games.

Copenhagen pumped in 4 goals past a hapless 10-man Man United last time out. With a path to the next round in their hands, we can expect them to go all out in this match too.

We expect an open-ended game with plenty of opportunities either way and we are therefore back this game to have at least 4 total goals scored with great odds for this option offered at 1Win

Prediction 2: Over 9.5 Corners

The reverse fixture last month produced 10 corners. This one is expected to feature even more attacks from both teams which could result in more corners.

Bayern’s last 5 straight home games have featured at least 10 corners, including both of their home games in this group thus far.

With both teams expected to go for it here, we fancy this game will also result in at least 10 corners being taken.

Prediction 3: Choupo-Mouting Anytime Scorer

With Tuchel likely to give a rest to some of his big guns due to their upcoming tight schedule all the way until Christmas, this could be a good opportunity for Bayern’s other youngsters to shine.

Harry Kane has taken care of most of the scoring this season and he has been on a tremendous record-setting run of form and this has largely kept the other forwards under his shadow

Outside of Kane, Choupo-Mouting has also chipped in with goals here and there. He will have a more starring role in this game and we are therefore backing him to score anytime side as our final Bayern Munich vs Copenhagen prediction for this clash
