Manchester City vs. Borussia Dortmund Champions League preview: Team news and predicted lineups | OneFootball

Coming off a 1-0 Bundesliga win over Augsburg, Borussia Dortmund will aim to extend their four-game unbeaten run when they visit Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Defence has been a key strength for BVB this season, with Friday’s 1-0 win marking the seventh clean sheet in 14 games. 

Another positive from the victory, despite a largely uninspiring performance, was that Serhou Guirassy finally ended his five-game goal drought.

In the Champions League, Niko Kovac’s side sit sixth with seven points after a 4-2 win over FC Copenhagen on Matchday 3. 

Just behind them in seventh are Manchester City, also on seven points. Aside from a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on October 26, Pep Guardiola’s men have been in strong form of late, winning five of their last six games. 

They can also take confidence from recent meetings with Dortmund, having won three and drawn one of their last four encounters against the Black and Yellows.

Team news and predicted lineups:

Manchester City will still be without Mateo Kovacic (Achilles) and Rodri (thigh).

As for Dortmund, centre-backs Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle are expected to return to the squad after missing Friday’s game due to illness and a swollen toe, respectively.

Captain Emre Can made his long-awaited return to the squad for that match, leaving Julien Duranville (shoulder) as the Black and Yellows' only remaining absentee.
