The only two teams with seven points after three rounds of UEFA Champions League UCL group phase action go head-to-head as Manchester City host Borussia Dortmund in what promises to be a pulsating encounter at the Etihad Stadium.
City will be ruing their missed opportunity to make it nine points from nine after twice surrendering the lead against Monaco on matchday two their only dropped points of the campaign so far. Softfootball understands that Pep Guardiola's men have responded strongly, securing five wins from their last six competitive games L1, including a solid 3-1 Premier League victory over Bournemouth on Sunday.
The English champions will take confidence from their formidable UCL home record, having gone 22 home group-stage matches unbeaten since September 2018 W19, D3. That consistency underlines their dominance on home soil, and with their attacking form firing again, few would bet against them extending that streak.
