Uefa cup Thursday

FC København vs. Manchester City


The pressure is really on Mark Hughes and in reality the UEFA cup is his only real chance of bringing silverware to Eastlands this year.
Theres a few reasons why I feel City can get a result in Denmark,
Firstly they have performed much better in Europe than the premiership and topped group A with relative ease. Many of their players look more comfortable playing European teams and with no disrespect to their opponents this is one of the easier draws they could have got. They have also strengthened their squad with Wayne Bridge, Craig Bellamy and Shay Given all great additions to the squad. Robinho, Richards and Wright-Phillips are all back from injury and fit for selection.
Copenhagen are out of competitive action since December 7th , this backfired against me tonight with Villa and CSKA but I feel that the situations are different here and that has to be a big advantage for City as they will have the crucial edge in sharpness.
Copenhagen’s home form has been nothing to shout about so far only managing 2 draws in their last 3 outings at home.
With all this in mind and the fact that Hughes is really in need of some good performances I think that Man City will look to get the job done as soon as possible and don’t see them losing tomorrow night. They have the players to do the job and perhaps Shay Given might eventually get some silverware this year.
