Manchester City form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the quarter-finals.

38 points is a decent return from 16 Premier League games here at Etihad Stadium for Manchester City. The data says 12 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Manchester City has performed like this (both home and away): 7 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Ederson Santana de Moraes not having conceded a league goal in 214 minutes.

A strong away win for Manchester City against Leicester City the last match, as Gabriel Jesus and Benjamin Mendy were on target. A strong away win before that one, visiting Everton and winning 2-0.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Manchester home games with this odds we find nine games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in six wins, zero draws and three defeats. Looking at the victories, four matches were won by at least two goals.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Manchester, as the Premier League home game vs Leeds United is only four days away.

Goals decide football matches and Manchester are scoring many of them at home; 36 on target from 16 league matches. From these home matches, Manchester City have conceded only 13 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Borussia Dortmund form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the 8th finals against Paris Saint Germain.

The visitors are W6-D2-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Champions League stats, they have 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss both home and away.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Bundesliga home defeat versus Eintracht Frankfurt with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Before that, Borussia travelled to Köln and returned home with a draw after the Bundesliga game finished 2-2.

You'll want to know how Borussia managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found one similar match resulting in zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.

The schedule is very tough for Borussia Dortmund now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Bundesliga game at Stuttgart is waiting in only four days.

Borussia Dortmund are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 27 times in 14 away games so far. Borussia's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head
