We simulated Man City vs Borussia Dortmund to get a Champions League score prediction

Manchester City will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Champions League when they host Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night.

After a weekend of no Premier League action as a mark of respect for the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, City enter the clash against Dortmund with a full week's rest under their belt. Their last outing saw Pep Guardiola's side beat Sevilla 4-0 in their Champions League opener, with Erling Haaland getting on the scoresheet once again.

The last meeting between these two sides came in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2021, with City winning 4-2 on aggregate. This will be the first time both Haaland and Manuel Akanji have faced their former side, both leaving Dortmund for City this summer.

John Stones and Kyle Walker will both be absent along with Aymeric Laporte, with the latter set to not be risked, despite returning to training. Nathan Ake could potentially return to the starting XI after his return from injury, while Sergio Gomez could keep his place in defence after making his first start against Sevilla last week.

So, what could the score be? We simulated the game to find out. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers.

We predict that City could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Gomez; De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva; Foden, Haaland, Grealish.

We predict that Dortmund could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Meyer; Meunier, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Ozcan, Bellingham; Reyna, Reus, Brandt; Modeste.
