Borussia Dortmund vs. Manchester City Betting Prediction
After analyzing last week’s performance, Dortmund still has a chance to move forward in the tournament. They were able to figure out their defense. So we might have an upset on the horizon.
Then again, dealing with the top team in the Premier League is not an easy task either. Not saying they haven’t blundered in this part of the tournament, which they’ve done the past three season. But if they focus and avoid the mistakes on the defense, City will have a pass to the semifinals.
