Pep Guardiola's men take on FC København in the Champions League group stages

Manchester City will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Champions League group stages when they host FC København at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night. Pep Guardiola's side got their campaign off to a winning start with a 4-0 victory over Sevilla last week, while København were beaten 3-0 by Borussia Dortmund.

City will be heavy favourites to win the game, but København will be no pushovers. The Danish champions are a well-organised and disciplined side, and they will be looking to make life difficult for Guardiola's men.

Key Battle

The key battle in the game could be between Erling Haaland and Victor Nelsson. Haaland has been in sensational form for City this season, scoring 12 goals in seven games, while Nelsson is one of the best young defenders in Europe.

If Haaland can get the better of Nelsson, then City will be confident of creating plenty of chances. However, if Nelsson can keep Haaland quiet, then København will have a chance of frustrating City and taking something from the game.

Other Key Points

* City have won their last four Champions League games at the Etihad Stadium.
* København have lost their last four Champions League away games.
* Haaland has scored in each of his last seven Champions League games.
* Nelsson has been capped 10 times by Denmark.

Prediction

City will be the strong favourites to win the game, but København have the potential to cause an upset if Haaland fails to fire. I predict a 2-0 win for City.
