Best Tip: Man City to win

There looks like a strong favourite for this fixture, and it's Man City. Their recent form stats show their ability in front of their own fans, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they know how to beat Dortmund too. The odds point towards Pep Guardiola's side coming out on top in the win / draw / win market, and that's what we're predicting for Wednesday night too.

Goal Statistics

Manchester City's forwards have been excellent of late, scoring 2 goals or more in 3 consecutive Champions League matches. A PG of 2.4 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday night.

Manchester City's defensive record is very strong, Pep Guardiola's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Champions League outings. An average PG rating of 1.1 for Borussia Dortmund makes sense in this context.
