Recent form
In the recent Champions League matches, FC Copenhagen has not played competitive fixtures since defeating Galatasaray in their final Champions League group game two months ago. They have tried to minimize rust by playing friendlies during the break. Meanwhile, Manchester City is on a ten-match winning streak, having been crowned world champions and are in ominous form leading up to the match against Copenhagen.
Manchester City's recent Champions League form includes an eight-match winning streak, which is the longest run by any English side in European Cup and Champions League history, surpassing Bayern Munich's run between 2019 and 2020 (15 games). City have not won any of their past five away games in the Champions League knockout stages, however, which includes four draws and one loss, with their last away victory in the same stage against Sporting Lisbon in 2021-2022.
As for the head-to-head, Copenhagen has never beaten Manchester City in four previous meetings (D2 L2), and the Danish clubs have lost all three of their European Cup and Champions League home games against reigning European champions.
Recent home/away form
Based on the provided information, FC Copenhagen's home form in the UEFA Champions League (ULTRA football statistics and FootyStats) is not specified directly. However, I can summarize their home performance in the Danish Superliga, which might give you a more general idea of their home form.
FootyStats mentions that Copenhagen's home form in the 2023/24 Danish Superliga season is as follows:
- Average number of goals scored per home game: 0
- Average number of goals conceded per home game: 0
- Clean sheets at home: 0% (no specifics for Champions League home clean sheets, which would typically apply to the last 10 games)
- Both Teams Score (BTTS) rate at home: 71.21% (possibly for the Superliga, not specific for Champions League)
- Over 2.5 goals rate at home: 60.61% (superliga stats, not Champions League specific)
- Matches with a clean sheet for the home team: 0%
- Matches with a clean sheet for the away team: 0%
- Highest home win percentage: 100% (this percentage is from the games played so far, not explicitly for the last 10 games or Champions League specific)
These statistics indicate FC Copenhagen's home performance in the Danish Superliga, which may not directly translate to their UEFA Champions League home form, as Champions League games involve a different level of competition and context. However, for the latest season, they have neither won nor lost a home game in the Champions League, as the search results do not provide this information specifically for the last 10 games in the Champions League (CL).
Based on the provided search results, I can give you information about Manchester City's away form in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for their last 10 games. Keep in mind that the results and statistics may have changed since the last update of the sources.
Manchester City's away form from the given sources is as follows:

- Points per game: Not explicitly stated, but we can calculate an approximate points per game (PPG) based on the performance found in FootyStats:
- Manchester City had an overall form of "Excellent" with 8 wins and 0 draws, implying no losses in the 10 matches mentioned, which would yield approximately 2.7.
- Goal statistics (10 matches combined):
- Average goals scored: Not directly stated for the last 10 away games, but we can infer a general trend from the overall statistics in FootyStats and Whoscored.com:
- Manchester City's away goal scoring in the UCL is likely comparable to their overall performance, which places them in the top 4 for goal scoring in the UCL this season.
- Goals conceded: Not directly stated for the last 10 away games, but we know Manchester City's overall defensive performance in the UCL:
- Strengths mentioned include "Defending set pieces" and "Protecting the lead".

Please note that this data is not exclusively limited to the last 10 away matches in the UCL, as the sources do not specifically isolate that information.
