Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund Betting Preview – Euro 2016, 29th July
The Citizens make their entry into the summer’s International Champions Cup and they will be bowing straight out afterwards. Their game against Manchester United was cancelled because of weather conditions and a poor pitch out in China. So the Citizens have just the one game and it is against Dortmund who hammered Manchester United in their opening game of the event. Can the Citizens do a little better than that, or will Pep Guardiola survive against a club that he knows so well?

Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips
This is a good summer friendly match to look forward to, being played out in China in Shenzhen. The Citizens were due to play Manchester United on July 25th but the game at the National Stadium, Beijing got cancelled and there won’t a rescheduling of it. Bad weather ruined that spectacle. Still it gave City some extra time to rest and get ready for this after the long trip out east. City opened their summer with a 1-0 loss at Bayern Munich, with new boss Pep Guardiola sending out a lot of reserve and academy players in the match. That having been said, you could see his style, notably his high-pressing game, being acted out on the pitch. They are likely to be going with a stronger starting line up in this one, will they be able to handle the power of Dortmund?
Manchester City have Sergio Aguero at 11/8 with Wilfried Bony at 7/4 going in the anytime goalscorer market. Then you have Dortmund’s goal machine Pierre Aubameyang who is a 13/10 shot to net. He got a goal against Manchester United the other day. So this game does have the look of goals in it and there is certainly the firepower available to make that happen. There should be good sides out for the first half of the match at least and therefore you have a nice punt on the game going over 2.5 goals for a price of 4/5 with online betting site Bet365. As always, we always suggest watching for the starting line ups and then enjoy live in-play betting on the goalscorer markets and correct score markets.
So Borussia Dortmund made really light work of beating Manchester United In their opening International Champions Cup match. They took a 4-1 win over the Red Devils and looked a whole world sharper and fitter. There have been big changes at the club over the summer having sold Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Ilkay Gundogan and Mats Hummels but they have brought back some quality players as well and may have done some good business, with notably Mario Gotze and Andre Schurrle joining them. So there is still high quality there and as we saw last season, under boss Thomas Tuchel, they play a very energetic and positive game. They have the goals in Aubameyang as well so can they do a similar job against City as they did against United?

Manchester City v Borussia Dortmund Predictions
Dortmund have to be the value in this one. They were on point in beating Manchester United and this will be the first summer showing for most of the City starting line up we presume. That has to have a bearing on the game and while Pep Guardiola knows the men in yellow very well, he may suffer a rare defeat against them here.
