Borussia Dortmund host Manchester City at the Signal Iduna Stadium (Dortmund) in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Wednesday, April 14. Read our reasons for Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City prediction and betting tips.
Man City takes a precious 2-1 lead to the ex-Westfalenstadion thanks to Phil Foden’s late winner after the Belgium ace Kevin de Bruyne gave the hosts the lead on 19 minutes. Despite winning at the death, Pep Guardiola's side still have plenty of work to do in the Champions League second leg at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night. On the other hand, Dortmund, who are in the last eight for the first time since 2017, have been beset by inconsistency but, while there's Erling Haaland and City academy product Jadon Sancho, who may feature in the re-match, there's hope.
Though Man City won't be happy to have conceded at home – ending the club's run of 788 minutes without conceding in the Champions League – they will be confident of securing at least a draw in Germany. Guardiola's side have lost just three games all season, and have only been defeated once since November. City are still on course for an unprecedented quadruple, having reached the final of the Carabao Cup, the semi-final of the FA Cup, and holding a commanding lead in the Premier League.
With 26 wins from 27 games, City surprisingly took time to impose themselves but they were ruthless in pouncing on a mistake to snatch the lead after 19 minutes through De Bruyne. Reus latched on to Haaland’s through ball to equalise, but De Bruyne, inevitably, was involved in the decisive moment when his cross eventually fell to Foden, who stroked home to ensure a slender advantage against Dortmund as they continue their quest. However, after failing at the last-eight stage in the last three seasons, Guardiola will be well aware they still have work to do.
As for Borussia, Dortmund’s credentials this term are not quite so convincing, with Edin Terzic’s side a long way out of contention in the Bundesliga title race. Borussia did manage to top their group ahead of Lazio, Club Brugge, and Zenit, posting four wins and a draw. They also won the first knockout stage 5-4 on aggregate against Sevilla but the form on show will not be good enough to trouble a team like City in the second leg.
Dortmund are in an indifferent run of form and are struggling to keep their hopes of Champions League qualification via the Bundesliga alive. Yet even though their former City academy star Jadon Sancho was sat at home injured, they will try not to allow the remainder of their season under interim manager Edin Terzic to drift away. They played plenty of composed football and, even though City kept Erling Haaland relatively quiet, the fastest and youngest player to reach 20 Champions League goals, will need to add to his incredible 24-goals tally in 21 games to see his team progress here.

Borussia Dortmund meet Man City having previously been eliminated six times on the seven occasions where they have lost the first leg of a Champions League knockout stage match. The exception was against Benfica in 2016-17 at the Last 16 stage (0-1 first leg, 4-0 second leg). They will count themselves unfortunate to see Bellingham’s equaliser ruled out and will be cursing Foden’s late strike but Terzic felt his players still performed creditably and remained optimistic they could turn the tie around in the second leg.
This could turn out to be an open affair, so the BettingKick’s Borussia Dortmund vs Man City prediction is: Both teams to score
