Borussia Dortmund host Manchester City in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Pep Guardiola's side will take a 2-1 lead to Signal Iduna Park and will be confident in his side's chances of qualifying for the semi-finals of the competition.
Borussia Dortmund have been stuttering of late, winning only two of their last five games across all competitions. Edin Terzic's side secured a 3-2 victory over Stuttgart at the weekend, which should give them some confidence going into Wednesday's game.
Dortmund managed to score a crucial away goal at the Etihad last week and it remains to be seen if that has a role to play in who advances to the semi-finals.
As for Manchester City, Pep Guardiola's side suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Leeds United at the weekend. Guardiola will be hoping his side can move past that loss quickly and pick up where they left off against Dortmund on Wednesday.
Edin Terzic's side have it all to do, but Manchester City have shown that they can be beaten and that will make for an exciting contest.
Borussia Dortmund vs Manchester City Head-to-Head
Borussia Dortmund had never lost to Manchester City in a competitive fixture before the first leg, winning one of their two meetings back in the 2012 Champions League group stages.
However, as seen in the 2-1 win last week, Pep Guardiola's side do seem to have a lot more quality than Edin Terzic's outfit.
