Manchester City take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the round 2 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 14th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester city started the new season rather controversially. More precisely, they lost in the first official match 1-3 to her key opponent, Liverpool. True, it was only in the Super Cup, which is not particularly quoted by the giants. But even in the first rounds of the Premier League, despite Haaland's incredible performance, several misfires have already been made. On the other hand, the competitors do not shine, perhaps, hence the problems with the concentration of the wards of Pep Guardiola. A potentially difficult trip to Sevilla last Tuesday ended in a crushing victory over the enemy. And, again, not without Erling's records. He scored a “double” at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, including important opening goal. Joao Cancelo was also not bad - the Portuguese was twice marked as an assistant. As a result, the "citizens" won 4-0.

Exactly Borussia Dortmund sold Haaland last summer. And he was unsuccessfully replaced: Sebastian Aller, bought for a lot of money, has not yet made his debut. The Ivorian has already been diagnosed with a tumor in Germany - there is no time for football ... However, the new-old coach, Edin Terzic (the season before last, he showed himself excellently as interim after Favre was fired) adequately copes with this challenge. Including his wards started well in the Champions League. At the beginning of the season, in the Bundesliga, the Black-and-Yellows surprised by the fact that they took points largely due to well-organized defense. They did not concede on the 6th of September, taking "Copenhagen". Moreover, they defeated the opponets 3-0. The leader, Reus, opened the score on the 35th minute. And then at the end of each half, Reina acted as an assistant. He first helped double the score for Rafael Guerreiro. And in the end, Bellingham designed the final defeat of the Danes.
In 2012, Borussia were slightly stronger in head-to-heads in the group stage: 1-1 away, 1-0 at home. But in last year's quarter-finals, Manchester City took a convincing revenge, winning both matches 2-1. The bookmaker's offices are waiting for an easy victory for the Citizens. But we can expect spectacular football from two teams, who play in attack. We bet on "over 3.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
