Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund are level on points as they clash in the Champions League at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night. Both teams have picked up seven points from three matches, with Dortmund currently ahead of City on goal difference.
Pep Guardiola’s men have already faced three strong European sides in Napoli, Monaco, and Villarreal, remaining unbeaten. City beat both Napoli and Villarreal 2-0, while Monaco managed to hold them to a 2-2 draw. Currently sitting seventh in the Champions League table, City are on course for automatic qualification to the round of 16.
Domestically, Manchester City have been in good form recently, securing back-to-back 3-1 wins over Swansea City and Bournemouth across the League Cup and the Premier League in their latest outings. City are also on an 11-match winning streak at home against German opposition and will be determined to extend that record when Dortmund visit the Etihad on Wednesday.
However, Niko Kovac’s Borussia Dortmund will not make it easy for the Cityzens. The German side kicked off their European campaign with a thrilling 4-4 draw against Juventus, followed by a 4-1 thumping of Athletic Bilbao. Dortmund then continued their impressive form by beating Copenhagen 4-2 in their third outing.
This marks the first time Dortmund have scored four goals in three consecutive European Cup/Champions League matches in their history. Only Paris Saint-Germain have scored more goals in Europe’s elite competition this term, netting 13.
Despite their European exploits, Dortmund haven’t been as free-scoring domestically of late, having scored just one goal in each of their last three matches across the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal, though they won all three games.
### Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
– Dortmund have won just one of their last six meetings with Manchester City in the Champions League, losing three and drawing two.
– Dortmund have never beaten City away from home.
– City have never conceded more than one goal in any of their six matches against Dortmund.
– Dortmund have scored at least one goal in all of their away games in the 2025-26 season.
– Although Dortmund have scored in all three of their trips to the Etihad, they have never won there.
– They lost their last two away games against City by identical 2-1 scorelines.
### Match Prediction
Borussia Dortmund have been ruthless in attack during this Champions League campaign, while Manchester City’s defense has shown some frailties. It is unlikely that City will keep Dortmund’s attackers completely at bay for the entire game. However, we expect City to strike back effectively and edge the contest, with Erling Haaland in particular being in fine form.
**Prediction:** Manchester City 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
### Betting Tips
– **Tip 1:** Manchester City to win
– **Tip 2:** Over 2.5 goals in the game
– **Tip 3:** Both teams to score
Stay tuned for an exciting match as these two European powerhouses battle it out at the Etihad!
