Most of Manchester City's Main Force are Missing

Manchester City has just past Russia World Cup , the number of players sent by the club was the highest, reaching 16.

Among them, Stones, Sterling, Delph and Walker went to the fourth place in the World Cup with England , while De Bruyne and Kompany got with Belgium. The third place, as the absolute main force of the Manchester City club, will get a long vacation after this World Cup, and will not accompany the team to the international championship cup.

From this, it can be seen that most of the Manchester City teams will be replaced by substitute players.

Dortmund's New Coach Took Office

Dortmund changed coaches after the Bundesliga last season, the coach Lucien Favre became the team's new coach, and signed till the summer of 2020.

This summer, Dortmund introduced a number of powerful players, including Abdou Diallo, Thomas Delaney, Marius Wolf, Marwin Hitz, Eric Oelschlägel and Achraf Hakimi

Manchester City, because most of the first-line players had been called to participate in the World Cup, so the team did not carry out additional games after the end of the Premier League on the other hand Dortmund conducted three friendly matches respectively, with the team from the Austrian , United States, and German win unbeaten record of 1 win and 2 draws.

Historical Fight

The two teams had four confrontations before, and Manchester City did not win a victory, losing to Dortmund by 1-1, 0-1, 1-1, and 1-3 respectively. In this game, Manchester City players lack most of the main force, and Dortmund is not affected by the World Cup.

The playing levels will be a lot lower than normal so not many goals around and this game is optimistic that Dortmund will continue to maintain the unbeaten record.

My pick on this match is under 3.5
