Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund will face each other in Wednesday’s action of the Champions League group stage 2nd round. The hosts enjoy an excellent start to the campaign, while the away side seeks improvement after suffering a defeat last weekend.
Manchester City Preview & Team News
Manchester City is firing in all cylinders at the moment. The unexpected draw at Villa Park did nothing to curb their form, as they preceded to beat Sevilla 4-0 away. Their record says it all. Pep’s side is unbeaten in their last eight games, having lost only once in its previous fifteen. Remarkably so, only three of those fifteen have featured less than three goals. The Citizens still haven’t lost this season, and despite a couple of hiccups in the Premier League, they are just a point behind Arsenal. Another victory in the Champions League would see them being comfortable in the top spot.
Borussia Dortmund Preview & Team News
Dortmund was not too pleased, as they were visited by a ghost of the past on Saturday. Marco Rose, who was brutally fired from the Westphalians in the summer, came back to haunt them as newly-appointed Leipzig manager, beating them 3-0. It was Dortmund’s second competitive loss this season and the first time they conceded after three straight clean sheets. The loss also interrupted Dortmund’s impressive away record, which had seen them win all seven away games before that. Nevertheless, BVB was successful at the Champions League group stage opening, thanks to a 3-o victory against FC Copenhagen at home. This time, it will be much tougher, but they hope to return home undefeated.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Manchester City has been much more confident than their rivals, and anything except the home side’s victory would be a huge surprise. We think the Citizens will meet expectations and beat Borussia Dortmund by at least two goals.
Goals Market Prediction
Although Dortmund has been pretty efficient this season, their defense was very leaky last weekend. It should be an entertaining clash, and we expect both teams to find the back of the opponent’s net.
