Our Predictions
City have not lost in nine matches and have won four of their last five at home. The odds make them clear favorites, and Dortmund's away record is inconsistent. City's strong squad depth, even with a few injuries, should see them controlling the game.
Four of the last five meetings saw both teams find the net. Dortmund's attack is dangerous, but their defense is unreliable. City's firepower at home suggests both sides will have chances to score.
Recent head-to-head and form stats hint at action. City have averaged over 2.5 goals per game lately, and Dortmund matches also tend to be open. With attacking talent on both teams, expect goals.
