Borussia Dortmund will look to join Manchester City in the knockout stages of the Champions League as they prepare to welcome Erling Haaland back to BVB Stadion Dortmund.
The Bundesliga side have a five-point cushion over Sevilla heading into matchday five while City advanced after three successive wins before a goalless draw at Copenhagen last time out.
Pep Guardiola’s men can be confirmed as group winners if they avoid defeat and a draw at 10/3 is our opening Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City prediction.
Borussia Dortmund Odds
After following up their opening group win over Copenhagen with a narrow defeat at City, Dortmund strengthened their qualification prospects by taking four points from two games against Sevilla.
Dortmund have an impressive home record in this competition, winning eight and drawing four of their previous 14 matches.
They have also failed to find the back of the net just once in their last 20 games in the competition.
When asked about securing qualification against City, midfielder Jude Bellingham said: “It would be brilliant, wouldn’t it?
“Obviously that’s going to be a massive test, another game that’s really tough, so we’re going to have to work really hard for that.”
Dortmund have lost just one of their eight home games this season and looking at the Borussia Dortmund vs Man City odds, a 1-1 draw at 15/2 has strong appeal.
Manchester City Odds
City rested Haaland, failed to score and had Sergio Gomez sent off in a frustrating VAR-dominated goalless draw with FC Copenhagen on matchday four.
That point, which followed three successive wins, was enough to secure progression to the round of 16 and they can be confirmed as group winners if they avoid defeat in Germany.
City had rattled in 44 goals in 12 games in all competitions prior to their blank in Denmark and that was followed by a controversial 1-0 defeat at Liverpool.
They returned to winning ways over the weekend when a Haaland brace helped City to a 3-1 victory over Brighton.
The prolific Norwegian took his tally since joining the club to a remarkable 22 from just 15 appearances.
With 17 of those goals having come in the Premier League, he is already, after 11 games, just six behind last season’s golden-boot winning total.
Having netted a late winner when City beat Dortmund in Manchester last month, Haaland to score the first goal on his return at 23/10 is our final Borussia Dortmund vs Man City prediction.
