Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City: Line-up, Champions League prediction and result

borussia dortmund predictions

Manchester City have the edge as they head to Borussia Dortmund for the second leg of their Uefa Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola’s side are desperately seeking a UCL crown to go alongside their domestic dominance of recent years.

And an injury-time winner from England international Phil Foden saw the English Premier League leaders inch ahead in the tie with a 2-1 win on the night.

Classy Kevin de Bruyne had earlier put the hosts into a first half lead at an empty Etihad Stadium, only for Marco Reus to tuck away Erling Braut Haaland’s assist with the clock ticking down.

But with Foden having the final say it puts the Sky Blues half a step closer to their continental dream.

It won’t get any easier for the side that reaches the semi-finals either, with the winner of the tussle between last year’s finalists Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain lying in wait in the last four.

City legend Sergio Aguero is doubtful having missed Premier League duty at the weekend, putting the Argentinian star in the same boat as defender Aymeric Laporte.

England international Raheem Sterling joins Gabriel Jesus and Ferran Torres in pushing for a starting place at Signal Iduna Park.

Dortmund have a bundle of injury concerns, albeit with no new issues since the first leg.

Jadon Sancho misses out on a reunion with his former club, with Axel Witsel, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Marcel Schmelzer and Youssoufa Moukoko all crocked as well.

Coach Edin Terzic may keep faith with Ansgar Knauff, while Thomas Meunier is a candidate to kick off at full back.
