Man City vs Borussia Dortmund: Champions League preview
Having already faced Napoli, Monaco and Villarreal so far this season in Europe, you do feel as if momentum is starting to be built over on the blue half of Manchester.
I mean, it does help when you have a Norwiegan goal machine hitting the net on a freakishly consistent basis, but Pep Guardiola's side are now seeing the fruits of their summer labours.
Returning duo Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait-Nouri will make a huge difference to the way the 2023 winners play, and City are definitely ones to watch.
Midfield kingpin Rodri also shook off his recent injury woes to recently return against Bournemouth, so we do expect a strong side to start against Haaland's form side on Wednesday.
Dortmund are enjoying an impressive start to the season both domestically and in Europe, and have a habit of scoring four goals in the latter.
They will have a stat to quash when they arrive in England in midweek, however, having never beaten City on their own patch in three previous meetings.
A brilliant 4-4 draw with Juventus was followed by a 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao, before they also saw off FC Copenhagen 4-2 to make it 12 scored.
The latter result saw Dortmund score four goals in three straight European Cup/Champions League matches for the first time in their history. Could they make it 4 from 4 in 4 against Guardiola's men this week?
Defenders Nico Schlotterbeck (illness) and Niklas Sule (toe) look to be fit to play at the Etihad, as Kovac boasts a relatively clean bill of health.
BVB's only absentee should be the young Julien Duranville (shoulder), and goal machine Serhou Guirassy is one to watch, with the Guinea international already on 7 for the season.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Man City 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
Manchester City are quite imperious on home soil, and given Dortmund's previously unsuccessful endeavours in this fixture, we are backing the hosts.
