Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund first goal scorer odds

Erling Haaland has made an exceptional start to the season having swapped Dortmund for Manchester in the summer, already netting 12 goals in eight appearances.

The Norwegian striker is the overwhelming favourite to break the deadlock at 11/5 (3.20), ahead of Julian Alvarez at 10/3 (4.33) and Kevin De Bruyne at 6/1 (7.00).

Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund preview

Dortmund conceded three goals at the weekend against RB Leipzig, the second time in their last five Bundesliga matches they have let in three goals, and those defensive deficiencies do not bode well for the reunion with Haaland.

The former Dortmund striker boasts a formidable record in the Champions League and should be able to add to his impressive tally against his old employers.

City's home record in the group stages is extremely impressive having won 11 and drawn one of their last 12 clashes and there will be plenty of interest in backing the Blues to record a seventh consecutive home win at this stage of the competition.
