Dortmund vs City Champions League Betting Odds, Match Schedule, and Forecast
Rewritten Article:
Yo, get ready, 'cause Erling Haaland is back in Westfalen, but this time not in Borussia Dortmund's yellow jersey. Instead, he'll be sporting Manchester City's sky blue. But hold on, if Pep Guardiola decides Manchester City's Champions League ticket to the next round is already secured, he might keep his top goalscorer on the bench - and the rest of the key players too.
So, does that make Dortmund's job easier? Well, yeah, but that don't guarantee a win. Actually, bookies think Dortmund might lose their second Champions League match of the season on Tuesday.

Over 81,000 Fans Pack Westfalenstadion
Die Westfalenstadion's gonna be lit on Tuesday with more than 81,000 fans cheering on Borussia Dortmund. Most of 'em will be supporting the home team, including the Yellow Wall fans who are legendary for their insane support in big matches like this one.
This is why Dortmund is Schwer zu schlagen im Heimspiel. They're unbeaten at home since the summer, with three victories and two draws in their previous five matches.
One of the draws came against Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker, where Dortmund's striker, Anthony Modeste, tied it up at 2-2 in the 5th minute of stoppage time.
Manchester City's Focus Shifts to the EPL
After securing a place in the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City can now focus on the Premier League, where they trail Arsenal. So, their coach Pep Guardiola might decide to rest some of his key players for this game, including Haaland, their former Dortmund player. Without him, Manchester City might not be as lethal, but they'll still pose a serious threat to Dortmund's goal.
Prediction: A High-Scoring Tie
This game is gonna be intense and action-packed. We're probably gonna see a lot of goals but no clear winner. Instead, it might be a high-scoring draw.
Picks: Draw and over 3.5 goals
- Despite Erling Haaland's shift to Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund still face significant odds in their upcoming Champions League match against their former striker's new team.
- The moneyline for the match suggests that Manchester City might emerge victorious in their clash with Dortmund in the European leagues.
- At the Westfalenstadion, Borussia Dortmund, particularly with their unbeaten home record since summer, are a tough team to beat, as illustrated by their draw against Bayern Munich.
- With Manchester City now focusing on the Premier League, there's a possibility that Pep Guardiola could rest key players, including Haaland, for this game, making the outcome less predictable.
- Given the high-scoring potential of this match, a high-scoring draw seems like a reasonable prediction for the Dortmund vs Manchester City Champions League encounter.
