Man City have won seven of their last nine games in all competitions, winning two and drawing one of their opening three Champions League matches.

The Cityzens have won their last five home games in a row and will fancy their chances of overcoming Dortmund at the Etihad.

It's hard to back against City at the mome,nt considering the form of star striker Erling Haaland, who has scored a ridiculous 26 goals in 16 games for club and country so far this season.

Niko Kovac's Dortmund have conceded six goals in two away games in the Champions League this season, with City's formidable forward line likely to provide their sternest test so far.

Newcastle have won six of their nine home matches this season, only failing against elite opposition in Barcelona, Arsenal and Liverpool.

After losing their opening Champions League game against Barcelona, the Magpies have bounced back with two superb victories - winning 4-0 at Union Saint-Gilloise and 3-0 at home to Benfica.

Newcastle's strong home form contrasts with Athletic Bilbao’s poor away results, with the La Liga outfit without a win in their last five games on the road.

Athletic's only away outing in the Champions League this season saw the Basque side overwhelmed 4-1 away to Borussia Dortmund, with Newcastle primed to be a similarly hostile atmosphere on the road.

Hosts Club Brugge have been devastating at home in Europe so far this season, scoring 13 goals in three matches including qualifiers against RB Salzburg and Rangers.

Benfica have scored 12 goals in their opening five home matches in the Primeira Liga this season (2.4 per game).

The Portuguese giants have also found the net in each of their Champions League home games this season, including the qualifiers, recording wins over Nice and Fenerbahce before losing 3-2 to Qarabag.
