After being thumped <strong>4-1 by Club Brugge<\/strong> on matchday one, they bounced back domestically with a <strong>5-2 victory over Metz<\/strong> but quickly fell back down to earth with a <strong>3-1 defeat to Lorient<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their Champions League record is far from inspiring, with <strong>five losses in their last seven UCL outings<\/strong>. However, at home, they have been formidable, winning <strong>five of their last six group\/league phase games<\/strong>. They are also unbeaten in their last <strong>nine competitive matches at Stade Louis II (W8, D1)<\/strong> \u2013 a streak they will be desperate to extend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pep Guardiola\u2019s men have rediscovered their swagger since the international break. City are <strong>unbeaten in their last five matches (W4, D1)<\/strong>, highlighted by a <strong>5-1 demolition of Burnley<\/strong> at the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, history hasn\u2019t been kind to them in Europe away from home \u2013 City have lost their last <strong>four Champions League away games<\/strong>. Guardiola\u2019s impressive personal record in early group-stage matches (W26, D5, L2) offers hope, though both his UCL defeats at this stage have come against French opposition \u2013 a psychological hurdle City must overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2694\ufe0f Head-to-Head History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These sides have only met once before in the <strong>2016\/17 Champions League<\/strong>.
