Copenhagen have already got the better of one Manchester outfit in the Champions League this season, though getting past City is an entirely different proposition.
The Danish champions edged Manchester United 4-3 back in November en route to booking their spot in the knockout stages for the second time.
While United endured one of their worst European campaigns in memory, City were at their ruthless best.
Pep Guardiola's men won six from six games, scored 18 goals and conceded just seven times.
Their immediate form is also excellent. City are in the midst of a 10-match winning run across all competitions. Six of those successes have seen the Citizens keep a clean sheet.
The test ahead for Copenhagen is a daunting one – especially when you consider their recent defensive record.
The last three fixtures for the Lions came in a friendly Atlantic Cup competition, which saw the side ship seven goals.
Four of those goals came against Elfsborg. While we mean no disrespect to the Swedish outfit, it must be said that if they can score four past Copenhagen, City should easily match it.
With a fully fit squad at his disposal, we're backing Guardiola to mastermind a Danish heist this Tuesday night.
City in the -2 handicap market is our recommendation. Erling Haaland to score anytime is another top tip.
Team news
Man City have no injury worries and boast a full strength side ahead of their trip to Scandinavia.
Copenhagen, meanwhile, return to competitive action without Khouma Babacar, Davit Khocholava, Birger Meling and Theo Sander. To make matters worse, Lukas Lerager is suspended.
