- Goals Conceded (GA): 7 (An alarming average of 2.33 per match).

Tactical Projection and Confirmed Value Pick
The tactical analysis suggests a high-scoring encounter:
- City’s Attacking Control: City is expected to dominate possession and generate high-quality chances against a Dortmund backline that has shown a tendency to concede heavily in this competition. City scoring two or more goals is the standard expectation.
- Dortmund’s Vertical Threat: Under Niko Kovač, Dortmund is lethal in quick, vertical transitions. Their offensive form (12 goals in 3 UCL matches) makes it highly probable they will exploit the rare defensive lapses in City’s structure or convert set pieces.
This combination of an elite City attack and a high-risk/high-reward Dortmund offense creates perfect conditions for the ‘Over’ market.
Value Tip: Over 3 Goals @1.80
