Copenhagen at Manchester United 8/10/2020 - Europa League Picks & Predictions

Manchester United had a really easy task in the previous round of the Europa League and managed to overcome Austrian side Linz without any problems. They will now have a theoretically easy task in the quarter-finals, where they will clash against Copenhagen. The Danish side are coming off a massive win against Basaksehir in the previous round and will try to cause an upset here.

Manchester United had won the first leg of the round of 16 against Linz by a massive 5-0 on the road, so it was only natural that coach Solskjaer would rest his starters. He used the reserves in the home match against the Austrians and managed to come back from one goal behind to also win the second leg, by 1-2. United have been tremendous in Europa League knock-out stages lately, remaining undefeated in their last 14 such matches (9-0-5). Moreover, they have conceded just seven goals in that span. They have scored in each of their last 20 competitive matches, and scored twice in 15 of those matches.

Copenhagen had lost the first leg on the road by 0-1 against Turkish side Basaksehir, but were tremendous in the second leg at home, winning by 0-3. They have now won three in a row in all competitions but prior to that they were win-less in six (0-4-2). Copenhagen are the first Danish team to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League. This season they have a 5-3-4 overall record in the competition, with all three losses coming by a 0-1 final score. Moreover, all six of their matches at the group stage produced Under 2.5 Goals.
