Latest football match prediction: Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal
Borussia Dortmund continues its Champions League journey currently sitting 14th in the league phase, and they will be aiming to improve their position or at least maintain their current ranking.
The Bundesliga team has earned seven points from their first four matches, with two wins, one draw, and one loss.
Despite the decent results, the defense remains a cause for concern, having scored 13 goals but conceded 11 in this season's Champions League.
In their most recent European match, Dortmund suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat away to Manchester City, with Waldemar Anton scoring a consolation goal.
However, one positive point for Niko Kovac's team is that they have scored in every match this season across all competitions.
In the Bundesliga, the reigning Champions League runners-up from 2023-24 are currently third, but are struggling to catch up with Bayern Munich at the top.
In their most recent match, they drew a dramatic 3-3 with VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Kovac will be expecting a strong reaction when he returns home for this European match, especially against Villarreal – a team Dortmund believe they can cause many problems for, despite the Spanish side's recent positive form.
Meanwhile, Villarreal have had a disappointing Champions League campaign, failing to win any of their first four matches and only managing one point.
They are near the bottom of the table after three defeats and one draw.
The "Yellow Submarine's" European journey began with a narrow 0-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur after an own goal by Luiz Junior, followed by a 2-2 draw with Juventus.
Then came two defeats against Manchester City (0-2) and Pafos (0-1), leaving them with only two goals scored and six goals conceded.
Nevertheless, Villarreal has shown impressive form in La Liga. Marcelino's team is currently third, behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona, and has won five of their last six matches in all competitions.
They enter this encounter with a 2-1 victory over Mallorca on Saturday, thanks to goals from Gerard Moreno and Tani Oluwaseyi.
Marcelino hopes that good form in the domestic league can help the team thrive in Europe.
