In the second leg of their Champions League last-16 matchup, Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen will face each other. City are well on their way to advancing to the quarterfinals for the fifth time in the past six seasons, having earned a victory in Denmark by a score of 3-1.

How Are They Performing On Their Latest Matches

The opening leg of the match featured goals scored by Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Phil Foden, who has been in outstanding form throughout the current season. Foden not only excelled in the match of Manchester City vs Copenhagen, but he also played a crucial part in the recent derby victory over Manchester United. He scored twice, which allowed him to surpass David Silva in the all-time goalscoring rankings for Manchester City.

As a result of the possibility that they would transfer their attention to the impending Premier League title decider against Liverpool, Pep Guardiola may decide to rotate his players for the encounter between Manchester City and Copenhagen. There is just one player who has been confirmed to be absent, and that is Jack Grealish. However, players such as Julián Álvarez, Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovačić, and Josko Gvardiol may be given the opportunity to showcase their skills.

Copenhagen is facing a formidable challenge against a City team that has the greatest pass completion percentage under pressure in this season's Champions League. Despite the fact that they need to win by two goals in order to force extra time, they are facing a formidable opponent. The match Manchester City vs Copenhagen carries historical significance for City, as they are attempting to join an elite group of teams that have won 10 consecutive Champions League matches. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are the only teams that have accomplished this distinction in the past.

What Is Expected In This Manchester City vs Copenhagen Match

In addition, City has scored in each of their previous 55 home matches across all competitions. They are only one goal away from breaking this record that was set in 2014, and with their attacking brilliance, very few people would bet against them accomplishing this at the Etihad Stadium.

However, despite the fact that they were able to draw with Galatasaray and Bayern Munich during the group stage, Copenhagen has historically had a difficult time competing in England. The previous time they traveled to Manchester, they were defeated by Manchester United by a score of 1-0, and they will have a difficult time overcoming the deficit when they face a group of City players who are full of confidence.
