Dortmund vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
Manchester City won the quarter-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund last week. But with the 2-1 final score at the Etihad, things are certainly not decided yet. Dortmund will have to reach a high level if they want to reach the semi-finals.
Borussia Dortmund:
Borussia Dortmund presented itself well in Manchester last week. Prior to the first game, there were fears here and there of a swipe, as Der BVB often appears weak this season. In the Etihad, however, Dortmund did not do so badly, although the focus was mainly on defense. Much was not given away by the yellow-blacks, and when Marco Reus made the 1-1 shortly before time, the Germans even seemed to return home with a draw. The winning hit by Phil Foden just did not work.
Last Saturday, Dortmund managed to win in the German league. Visiting subtopper VfB Stuttgart, Edin Terzic’s team won 2-3. It was striking that Erling Haaland, in his third Dortmund match in a row, did not score. In the three international matches for Norway, Haaland also failed to hit a target – an unprecedented goal drought for the young striker. Perhaps he can put an end to this nasty series on the Champions League stage on Wednesday. Terzic still does not have access to four players that have not been available for some time. Dortmund’s line-up will largely match that of the first leg.
Manchester City:
Manchester City was unable to support its candidacy for the final win of this Champions League last week. It was true that Borussia Dortmund was beaten at the last minute, but impressing, no, Pep Guardiola’s team did not really. Many opportunities were not created, although it should also be noted that The Citizens leave few opportunities away. Due to a late equalizer, City still had to start. Foden scored, after he had previously missed the chance of the 2-0. The final score of 2-1 is not ideal, but City has an advantage over the Germans.
In the Premier League, Guardiola’s team has a big lead. As a result, the coach was able to take a small risk last weekend, by giving many basic players a rest, before Wednesday’s return. By the way, there was still a very representative team at the kick-off of the home game against Leeds United. However, the game was lost with 1-2, but as said, the lead over the other teams at the top is big, so the only consequence is that the celebration of the national title is somewhat postponed. The players who got a rest on Saturday will of course return to the starting eleven against Dortmund.
