Although Manchester City just need one point to be first in the group here, I see them favorites to win.

Dortmund go into the match on the back of two successive wins in the Bundesliga. A 2-0 win at Hannover in midweek was followed up with a 5-0 home victory over Vfb Stuttgart. The win at Hannover ended a run of three matches without a win, which saw Dortmund lose 3-2 to FC Koln and 2-0 at surprise Bundesliga leaders Union Berlin. Currently, Dortmund are fifth in the table, with six wins from 11 matches played and four points behind the leaders. Dortmund have so far scored 27 goals in all competitions, but have also conceded 18.

Dortmund’s performances have been night and day this season. Some of the new players like Karim Adeyemi and Niklas Süle are still settling in, and it is arguable that Dortmund haven’t quite yet found their playing philosophy under Edin Terzic.

In the Champions League, Dortmund have won two of their four matches, drew their last match with Sevilla and lost 2-1 to the blues, when former Dortmund man Erling Haaland scored a late winner.

They just need one point to qualify here, and their next game will be against weak team Copenhague. And most probably won’t need more points because Sevilla (only serious rival for 2nd place, 5 points below now) will need to play against Man City in the last round.

Manchester City is undoubtedly one of the greatest teams in the world, they are dominating hard all the games and the team looks unstoppable. Of course they can lose some game (like Liverpool last week), but seeing how they are playing, this team is above all and should be beaten just by top teams in Europe. And right now Borussia isn’t one of them.

They also have some players who should improve, like Kevin De Bruyne. “Kevin can be better,” said Guardiola after this weekend game. “He is not playing at his top level. Not yet.”

Manchester City is struggling playing away lately (just 2 wins in the last 6 official games), but I see here a great scenario to show how strong they are in this competition and achieve a positive result.

The first game was a bit of a surprise for Manchester City, who struggled to beat Borussia 2:1. But I’m expecting a better performance by them here, while the boys of Dortmund are still very inconsistent in their performances and are undoubtedly several steps below Cityzens.

虽然曼城只需要一分就能在小组中排名第一，但我认为他们夺冠的希望很大。

多特蒙德在德甲联赛中取得了两连胜。周中2-0战胜汉诺威，随后又在主场5-0战胜斯图加特。在汉诺威的胜利结束了多特蒙德连续三场比赛一场未赢的纪录，此前多特蒙德3-2不敌科隆FC, 0 -2不敌德甲领头羊柏林联盟。目前，多特蒙德在积分榜上排名第五，11场比赛取得6胜，落后领头羊4分。到目前为止，多特蒙德在所有赛事中打进了27球，但也丢了18球。

多特蒙德本赛季的表现可谓日以继夜。一些新球员，比如卡里姆·阿德耶米和尼克拉斯Süle还在适应中，多特蒙德还没有完全找到他们在埃丁·特尔季奇手下的踢球理念，这是有争议的。

在欧冠赛场上，多特蒙德4场比赛取得2胜，上一场战平塞维利亚，2-1不敌蓝军，前多特蒙德球员埃林-哈兰德在最后时刻打进绝杀。

他们只需要一分就能出线，他们的下一场比赛将对阵实力较弱的哥本哈根队。他们可能不需要更多的积分，因为塞维利亚(塞维利亚是排名第二的唯一劲敌，现在落后5分)需要在最后一轮对阵曼城。

曼城无疑是世界上最伟大的球队之一，他们在所有的比赛中都很努力，这支球队看起来不可阻挡。当然，他们可能会输掉一些比赛(比如上周的利物浦)，但看看他们的表现，这支球队是最重要的，应该被欧洲的顶级球队打败。而现在，俄罗斯并不是其中之一。

他们也有一些球员需要提高，比如凯文·德布鲁因。“凯文可以变得更好，”瓜迪奥拉在周末的比赛后说。“他没有发挥出他的最高水平。还没有。”

曼城最近在客场打得很艰难(过去6场正式比赛只赢了2场)，但我在这里看到了一个很好的场景，可以显示他们在这项比赛中有多强大，并取得积极的结果。

第一场比赛对曼城来说有点出乎意料，他们艰难地以2:1击败了博尔西亚。但我期待他们在这里有更好的表现，而多特蒙德的男孩们在表现上仍然非常不稳定，毫无疑问比Cityzens差了好几步。
