The Etihad Stadium in Manchester will host the second leg of the Champions League group stage. The current and former clubs of Norwegian striker Erling Holann will compete. The English team have a better chance of success. What should you know before the starting whistle?

MANCHESTER CITY

The hosts outplayed Spain’s Sevilla on the road in the first round. “This is the 12th consecutive participation in the group stage of the Champions League. But they have never won the tournament, having reached the final only in the 2020/21 season. Manchester City have qualified for the spring leg of the Champions League in nine previous European seasons. In the last tournament, Josep Guardiola’s charges reached the semifinals and finished 1st in their group with 4 wins and 2 defeats. In the 25 previous matches in the league, Manchester City have lost only 4 times in 90 minutes, with 18 wins and 3 draws.

DORTMUND

The German club was stronger than Danish Copenhagen at home. The vice-champion of Germany for the 7th time in a row will start in the group round of the Champions League. During this time, the team finished in the quarterfinals and 1/8 of the Champions League twice, as well as once in the 1/8 and 1/16 of the Europa League. It is also worth noting that the Dortmund club won the main European tournament in 1997 and reached the finals in 2013. Last season Borussia finished in the third place in their own quartet of the Champions League, with 3 wins and 3 losses, and in the 1/16 finals of the UEFA Champions League they failed to get past Rangers (2-4 at home, 2-2 away). In the previous 9 games in the main time Borussia have won 3 games, with 1 draw and 5 defeats.

PREDICTION

Over the distance, neither side has an advantage in the previous five face-to-face games. The teams picked up two wins each, with one more match bringing the signing of the world.

The hosts continue to hold the brand of one of the main favorites in the tournament. City are also good in the EPL. At the same time, we would pay attention to two statistical trends. “The Citizens have not scored more than three goals in regulation time in ten of their previous 13 home games in the LL. “The Black-Yellows have not lost by more than two goals in regulation time in 26 of their previous 28 away games in the LL.
