Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund Champions League Betting Tips 05/11/2025

Two European heavyweights meet at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday as Manchester City take on Borussia Dortmund, so here’s our Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund Champions League Betting Tips. City will look to extend their decent run of form and keep pushing at the top of the Champions League group. Dortmund also head to Manchester in solid form, and a well-matched European encounter is expected. This game kicks off at 8 p.m. and it will be shown live on TNT Sports.

Form & Team News

Manchester City are sixth in the Champions League table and are unbeaten in their opening three matches. The Citizens continued their unbeaten run with a 2-0 victory at Villarreal last month. A 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa followed, but City hit back with 3–1 wins at Swansea and against Bournemouth at home. Borussia Dortmund are one place above City in sixth position. BVB drew 4-4 with Juventus in their Champions League opener before thrashing Athletic Bilbao 4-1 and Copenhagen 4-2. The Bundesliga side then beat FC Koln 1-0, drew 1-1 with Frankfurt in the Pokal and edged Augsburg to a 1-0 victory on Friday. 

City’s only absentee here is Mateo Kovacic, who came off injured against Bournemouth. Dortmund will be without Nico Schlotterbeck, Julien Duranville and Patrick Drewes. 

Match Winner Bet

Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund don’t lose many games, and this could be a closely contested Champions League battle. Dortmund have shown their quality in Europe this season and have lost just one of their 14 matches in all competitions. Niko Kovac’s side will be confident after big wins against Bilbao and Copenhagen in the Champions League, but they are still big outsiders to win at 13/2, offered by AK Bets. A draw could be a good option, too, as both City and Dortmund have dropped points in Europe this season. The Citizens were held to a 2-2 stalemate at Monaco on matchday two, and Dortmund drew at Juventus in their opening game. These sides also drew 0-0 in their previous head-to-head and another deadlock has good value on Wednesday, with Matchbook offering 451/100 odds. Pep Guardiola’s Man City are in electric form at home this season and have won their last five at the Etihad. City blew Bournemouth away on Sunday with a ruthless performance, and they can extend their winning streak against a Dortmund side that is winless in two of their previous four on the road. At 4/9 odds, Betfred have good potential returns for a home victory here.

Over/Under Goals Betting

City and Dortmund haven’t struggled for goals at all in 2025/26 and another high-scoring match looks likely at the Etihad. The Citizens have scored 15 goals in their last five home games and have seen eight total goals across their previous two matches. Dortmund have seen more total goals than any other team in the Champions League this season. The German outfit has scored 12 and conceded seven in just three games so far. This could be an end-to-end match and over 2.5 goals is worth a punt at 4/9, provided by Bet365.

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

There’s no shortage of goalscorers for Man City vs Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. For BVB, Felix Nmecha looks like a solid pick due to his impressive European form. The midfielder has three Champions League goals in just two starts and scored two well-taken goals in Copenhagen two weeks ago. City’s attention could be taken up by Dortmund’s top scorer, Serhou Guirassy, on Wednesday, potentially leaving space for Nmecha to operate around the edge of the area. Backing a Nmecha anytime goal could be a decent long shot, with Sky Bet offering 11/1 odds. However, former Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland is the best anytime goalscorer pick for this clash. City’s top scorer has been hard to stop recently, and he has scored 24 goals in his last 14 appearances for club and country. Haaland was back to his best form on Sunday with a brace in the 3-1 win over Bournemouth. It’s worth sticking with Haaland to score again on Wednesday, and Betfred have the best odds here at 8/15.
