Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund Preview
Although domestic form sees them well adrift of the Champions League places, Edin Terzic’s team is still more than capable of causing problems for a home team that has suffered eliminations against Lyon, Tottenham, Liverpool and Monaco in the last four seasons.
Indeed, the side spearheaded by the irrepressible Erling Haaland has not failed to find the net in 37 matches – averaging over two goals a game in that time.
While they have kept seven consecutive clean sheets in this competition, the Citizens have conceded in four of their last five home matches in all competitions – although have only failed to score once in 34 fixtures themselves.
