Dortmund have missed out on the title to Bayern Munich for the eighth season in a row but are destined to finish second as RB Leipzig are six points behind.

We think this one will be a lot tighter than most would anticipate and we're confident in predicting the 3.5 goal line won't be beaten in this one. Man City don't need a big result to secure qualification and Shakhtar will be looking to keep things tight. While Man City should have too much quality for their opponents, we can't see this being a high-scoring affair.
