Manchester City will travel to Germany to take on Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park for Matchday 5 in the Champions League group stage. These two teams currently sit at the top of Group G and have already qualified for the next tournament round.
The two clubs met in September for a 2-1 thriller that saw an incredible goal from Erling Haaland that gave City the lead over his former team in the 84’ minute.

Looking first at the 3-way handicap, it is apparent that oddsmakers are slightly backing Manchester City, as they have all year. Even so, the -165 line is surprising, judging by City’s play this season.
If the first game indicates what we can expect from these two clubs, the Over looks promising, particularly at plus money. The two clubs have scored a combined 20 goals in eight Champions League games this season.
Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City Prediction
Borussia Dortmund 2-3 Manchester City
A five-goal thriller is the only possible outcome when these two teams face off Tuesday. Despite City’s 3-1 victory over Brighton this past weekend, Pep Guardiola’s team struggled with possession and shot quality compared to what we are used to seeing. This comes only one game after the 1-0 loss to Liverpool, and it is clear that City is not currently in its top form.
For Dortmund, the struggles they showed early in October seem past them, as they scored a combined seven goals in their last two games. However, while they have had a good run in the UCL thus far, City’s star power is far too much for the young BVB to handle.
MCFC will struggle early on, conceding an early goal in the hostile environment of Signal Iduna Park. However, the opportunistic Haaland will leave his mark on his old stomping grounds with a pair of goals that will promptly silence the crowd. City will ease into this match and allow its attack to carry them as it did against Brighton.

Despite their recent form, Guardiola’s squad is far too talented to justify -165 odds. The Sky Blues will continue their unbeaten UCL season and win Group G with a victory over Dortmund Tuesday afternoon.

For a riskier play, Both Teams to Score in the first half seems like a promising long shot. BVB has done most of its damage in the UCL within the first 45 minutes, and you can expect them to strike first with the backing of the electric crowd.
City is a threat to score at any point in the game, and there will be plenty of opportunities for them to do so, judging by Dortmund’s inability to keep possession in the first matchup between the two.
