Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund: prediction for the Champions League fixture
Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund meet again in the Champions League. The Sky-Blues defeated Borussia twice in the previous edition of the competition. Can we expect another win for the British side on September 14? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Manchester City
EnglandManchester City had a solid start to the season. The team is occupying the 2nd line in the Premier League table, trailing the current leader by one point. In the first six matches, the Sky-Blues recorded four victories and drew against Newcastle (3:3) and Aston Villa (1:1).
Pep Guardiola's team is one of the main favourites to win the Champions League this season. Manchester City got a relatively easy group with Sevilla, Copenhagen, and Borussia as opponents. In the first group game, Guardiola's side crushed Sevilla (4:0).
Borussia Dortmund
GermanyBorussia Dortmund were the runner-ups in the 2021-2022 Bundesliga season. In the summer, Borussia have appointed Edin Terzic as their head coach. He has worked as Dortmund manager before. Borussia are currently in 5th place in the standings with 12 points from 6 games.
Last weekend, the Black and Yellows lost 0:3 to RB Leipzig, who are now led by former BVB coach Marco Rose. In the first Champions League game, Borussia crushed FC Copenhagen (3:0), which allowed them to secure the second line.
Trends
СтавкаCorrect score 3:1
This score was recorded in 3 of the last 6 away games of Borussia.
СтавкаManchester City to score in each half
In 2 of Manchester City's last 3 home games, this bet won.
СтавкаFirst-half total under 1.5 goals
In the last 2 games of Manchester City, no more than 1 goal was scored before halftime.
Tip and bets
Manchester City didn't play a league game last weekend, so they come into this Champions League match more rested than the opponents. If the Sky-Blues win tonight, they are almost guaranteed to finish top of Group G. The hosts will strive to capitalize on their home advantage and go forward from the first minutes. Borussia traditionally are dangerous on counterattacks and should be able to deliver a goal, too.
Our prediciton - both to score
The hosts are in good form and have a stronger team on paper. BVB have several injury concerns and don't have the same depth as their opponents. We believe that the favourites will win confidently.
Second bet - Manchester City to win by 2 goals.
