On Wednesday night, Dortmund host Club Brugge in the Champions League, as the home side look to seal qualification for the knockout stages of the competition.
Dortmund are currently top of the group, but level on points with second place Atletico Madrid. A draw in this clash would see the German side qualify for the knockout stages, while a victory could be enough to see BVB top the group if Atletico loses against Monaco.
Dortmund’s recent record in Europe’s primary competition is not great, as they have won just three of their last 12 games in the Champions League. However, all three of those wins have been this season.
BVB have a mixed recent home record, as they have won their last two Champions League game on home soil, after failing to win in their previous four home matches in the competition.
Dortmund’s recent home games have been high scoring in the Champions League, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight games on home soil.
Club Brugge still have an outside chance of making the knockout stages, but the Belgian outfit would need to win both of their remaining games and hope other results go their way.
A 4-0 win at Monaco in their last Champions League game ended a 13-match winless run in the competition for the Belgian side. In fact, the visitors have lost 11 of their last 14 games in the competition.
The aforementioned win at Monaco ended a nine-game winless run on home soil for the visitors on their travels in the Champions League. In fact, the victory ended a seven-game losing run away from home in Europe’s elite competition.
Their recent away games in the Champions League have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight matches.
Forebet predicts that Dortmund will record a victory in a low scoring game to seal their spot in the Champions League knockout stages.
