Kobenhavn vs Manchester United Match Stats Preview
FC København’s first ever UEFA Champions League victory was a 1-0 home win against Manchester United on MD4 in the 2006-07 edition.
Manchester United have won seven of their 10 meetings with Danish sides in all European competition (D1 L2), though both defeats have come in their last three such away games.
FC København are winless in their last 10 meetings with English sides in all European competition (D4 L6), failing to score in any of their last eight such games.
Manchester United have only won one of their last seven away games in the UEFA Champions League (D2 L4), with that one victory coming at Villarreal in November 2021 under Michael Carrick.
FC København are winless in their last six home games in the UEFA Champions League, although five of those matches have ended in draws (L1). Indeed, only five combined goals have been scored across these six matches (two for, three against), with four of them ending as nil-nil draws.
FC København are without a win in their last nine UEFA Champions League matches (D4 L5). They’ve lost the last two in a row but have never lost three consecutive matches in the competition before.
Manchester United lost their first UEFA Champions League away game under Erik ten Hag (v Bayern Munich on MD1), while the Dutch manager has never previously lost consecutive away matches in the competition. In fact, he’s already lost as many UEFA Champions League away games in charge of the Red Devils (1) as he did in 16 in charge of previous club Ajax (W10 D5 L1).
FC København had 16 shots in their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on MD3, their most ever in a UEFA Champions League away game. The most attempts they’ve had against a side across both meetings with a side in a single campaign is 29, against Borussia Dortmund last season (22 home, 7 away).
Manchester United have faced a penalty in all three of their UEFA Champions League matches this season and could become the first team on record (2003-04 onwards) to give away a penalty in each of their opening four matches in a campaign.
Marcus Rashford hasn’t scored in any of his last seven appearances for Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League, with his last strike coming in October 2021 v Atalanta. If he plays and fails to find the net in this game, it will be his longest run of appearances without scoring in the competition (also a run of seven between February-November 2018).
