Manchester City host Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium (Manchester) in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Tuesday, April 6. Read our reasons for Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund prediction and betting tips.
Manchester City have exited at the quarter-final stage for the three years running, but confidence is high after a run of 26 wins in 27 games – the runaway Premier League leaders made light work of another German side, Mönchengladbach, in the last 16. 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, there's hope.
It’s safe to say that everybody connected with Borussia Dortmund would have been hoping to avoid Man City in the quarter-finals. Pep Guardiola’s unstoppable machine enjoyed a massive 21-match winning streak between December and March. And to make matters worse for Dortmund, the City have only lost one of their previous 33 games in all competitions and are on a six-game winning run, home and away, against German clubs.
The Citizens are in the quarter-finals for the fourth successive season but their last three campaigns have all ended at this stage. Indeed, they have reached the semi-finals only once, in 2015/16. Often undone defensively in the past, City now also boast superb solidity at the back. Their backline has been almost impenetrable in recent months. Led by Ruben Dias and John Stones, Guardiola’s men have kept countless clean sheets this term, with a routine 4-0 aggregate victory coming against Borussia M’gladbach in the last round.
Meanwhile, second in the Bundesliga behind Bayern for the second season running in 2019/20, this is Dortmund's 15th UEFA Champions League campaign. They were winners in 1997, and runners-up in 2013. BVB have now reached the quarter-finals in four of their last eight participations. However, 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. However, Borussia do have an ace up their sleeve in Erling Haaland. If Borussia Dortmund is to get the better of Man City over two legs, Erling Haaland, the fastest and youngest player to reach 20 Champions League goals, will need to add to his incredible 24-goals tally in 21 games.

Manchester City met Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2012/13 season. The two meetings between the sides were a 1-1 draw at the Etihad and a 1-0 Dortmund win at Signal Iduna Park.
Man City made short work of German opponents at the Champions League last-16 stage but black and yellows do carry a significantly greater attacking threat than Borussia Monchengladbach, making this tie more interesting. However, regardless of whether Haaland does score in the quarter-finals, Man City are still hot favourites here.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
