Betting Preview
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have quietly gone about their European campaign with typical control, taking seven points from three tough fixtures against Napoli, Monaco, and Villarreal. The 2-0 wins over Napoli and Villarreal, split by a 2-2 draw with Monaco, underline City’s dominance, though their six goals make them the lowest scorers among the top 12 in the standings.

Domestically, City have rediscovered their rhythm with back-to-back 3-1 wins over Swansea and Bournemouth after a slip-up at Aston Villa. Erling Haaland’s brace in that run saw him join an elite Premier League goalscoring club alongside two Liverpool legends, helping lift City back into second place, still chasing Arsenal.
At the Etihad, City have been unstoppable in Europe against German sides, winning 11 straight home matches and never losing to Dortmund on home soil. But Niko Kovac’s men arrive full of attacking confidence. Dortmund have scored four goals in each of their three Champions League games so far, a record run that includes a thrilling 4-4 draw with Juventus and wins over Athletic Bilbao and Copenhagen.

While their domestic form has been less explosive, Dortmund have still managed to grind out results, three narrow wins and a DFB-Pokal shootout success. The visitors have also scored in every away game this season, including all three trips to the Etihad. History favours City, but Dortmund’s form suggests this could be far closer than expected.
