Borussia Dortmund hosts Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 14th at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund)
After a failure in the Champions League away match against Manchester City (2-1), Borussia Dortmund played another away game in the Bundesliga. In the match of the 28th round, the Black-and-Yellows achieved a character win over Stuttgart with a score of 3: 2. The Swabians scored an early goal with the efforts of Saša Kalajdžić. At the start of the second half, Borussia got back into the game due to goals from Jude Bellingham and Marco Reus. Stuttgart leveled the score in the 78th minute thanks to an accurate shot from Daniel Didavi, but Ansgar Knauff regained the lead in two minutes. The victory in Stuttgart has not yet brought Borussia closer to the top four of the Bundesliga standings. Six rounds before the end of the championship, Terzic's team is fifth and lags seven points behind Eintracht Frankfurt. It is highly likely that the Yellow-Blacks will not be able to qualify for the next Champions League and will be content with playing in less prestigious European Cups.

Manchester City lost 1-2 to Leeds in the Premier League home match on Saturday, losing points for the first time in four rounds. The Peacocks took the lead in the 42nd minute thanks to a goal from Stuart Dallas. Before the break, Bielsa's team remained one man down after Liam Cooper was sent off. The Citizens spent the entire second half trying to breach the Peacocks’ defense and even managed to level the score with the efforts of Ferran Torres. But Leeds had the last word - Dallas scored a double in added time. However, the misfire in the match against Leeds did not affect Man City's chances of winning the title ahead of schedule. In the six remaining rounds, Guardiola and his charges will need to score 11 points to regain gold medals.
The result of the first leg in Manchester does not give any of the teams a serious advantage. To get into the next round, Borussia Dortmund needs to score one goal and not concede. And if the attack led by Halland is dangerous for any opponent, then the defense of the Yellow-Blacks regularly fails. They managed to keep a clean sheet in only one out of the last seven games in all tournaments. There is no doubt that Guardiola's side, which has scored 17 goals in seven previous matches, will overcome this hurdle. Opponents will look for chances in each other’s penalty areas, so there is a high probability of an abundance of goals scored. Six of the last seven games of Borussia have pleased the fans with at least three goals scored. And this trend is likely to continue.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes and Over 2.5 goals scored
