Dortmund face Man City at the Sigbal Iduna Oark in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinals matchup. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

It took a late Phil Foden strike to secure a slender advantage for the Cityzens at the Etihad Stadium back in the first leg. De Bruyne had initially put the home side in front but his goal was cancelled out by Reus later on, however, the young Englishman netted the winner for his side much to Pep’s delight.

Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards

Dortmund managed to get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga, beating Stuttgart 3-2 away from home. However, things aren’t looking too good for them as they’re still seven points out of the top four. As such, it is expected that they would be thinking about going through the automatic qualification route by winning the Champions League. However, they first need to overturn a one-goal first-leg deficit against probably the most in-form team in Europa.

City’s winning run came to an end last weekend as they were on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline against Leeds over the weekend for their third loss at the Etihad Stadium. Nonetheless, they still maintain a healthy lead at the summit of the standings. They head into Wednesday’s game looking to make it through to the semis for the first time since the 15/16 season. Would they manage to achieve this feat?

Dortmund vs Man City Prediction: 1-2

We expect to see a highly competitive encounter this Wednesday with both sides still in the contest. The Cityzens have had dreadful UCL performances in bet the last few years most especially in games like these. We don’t expect that to happen this time around, however, it isn’t going to be an easy game either as Dortmund would be keen on taking advantage of home advantage.

As such, we would side with the Cityzens on the night, and on the tie.
