Erling Haaland faces his former team in the UEFA Champions League this week as Manchester City take on Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Borussia Dortmund are currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings and have not been at their best this season. The Ruhr Valley outfit suffered a shock 3-0 defeat against RB Leipzig over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the Premier League table at the moment and have been impressive this season. The Cityzens eased past Sevilla by a 4-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Manchester City will take on Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in their second game of the 2022-23 Champions League on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola's team is one of the only two Premier League teams to not lose a league game so far and they will hope to carry on with their excellent form since the start of the season.

Team News
Manchester City: Pep Guardiola will be happy to welcome Aymeric Laporte back into full training after the defender missed all of City's games so far this season. However, the mid-week Champions League fixture will come too soon for the defender.
City will have John Stones back in contention for selection but Kyle Walker remains sidelined due to injury.
Borussia Dortmund: Thorgan Hazard was forced off the field in Dortmund's win against Copenhagen but the Belgian attacker has made it to the travelling squad.
The German club's injury list is long and it includes Gregor Kobel, Sebastien Haller, Mahmoud Dahoud, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Mateu Morey. Donyell Malen and Karim Adeyemi are also doubtful for the fixture.
Prediction: Manchester City have made an impressive start to their league campaign and are one of the favorites to win the UEFA Champions League this season. Erling Haaland has been virtually unstoppable so far and will want to prove his mettle against his former employers.
Borussia Dortmund can pack a punch on their day but have been plagued by inconsistency in recent years. Manchester City are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Score Prediction: Manchester City 3 - 1 Borussia Dortmund
