Goal Statistics

Manchester City's forwards have been excellent of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 3 consecutive Champions League games. A PG of 2.2 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday night.

Manchester City's defensive record is to be admired, Pep Guardiola's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Champions League outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.4 for Borussia Dortmund makes sense in this context.
