Manchester City is preparing to face Monaco at the Louis II Stadium tomorrow, Wednesday, at 10 PM Cairo time, as part of the second round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

The two teams had previously met in the 2016/2017 season in the Round of 16, where Monaco achieved a historic victory with a score of 3-1 at home after losing 5-3 in England, advancing thanks to the away goals rule.

Monaco has a strong record against English clubs at home, having lost only one of their last nine European matches, with 6 wins and 2 draws, and they have won their last three matches among them. However, the French team has only achieved one victory in their last seven matches in the Champions League.

On the other hand, Manchester City enters the match after a series of mixed results, having lost their last four away matches in the tournament, but they have only suffered three defeats in their last 21 group stage matches, failing to score in only two of their last 30 European encounters.

Norwegian Erling Haaland is set to achieve a historic milestone as he plays his 50th match in the Champions League, with the opportunity to break the record for the most goals scored by a player in their first 50 matches in the tournament, surpassing Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy who has 43 goals.
