Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund defeated Werder Bremen 0:2 in the last match in the Bundesliga. During the entire match, they were the better rival, had more ball possession and more shots at the opponent’s goal. Eighteen-year-old Jamie Bynoe-Gittens scored the goals for the guests in the 67th minute, and Julian Brandt sealed the victory in the 85th minute of the match.
Since the end of the World Cup, they have recorded six victories from the same number of matches in all competitions. They are currently in third place in the league table with 40 points won from 20 rounds. In addition, only three points separate them from the leading Bayern Munich, which is in the first position.
They lost only 4 of the last 21 games at their stadium. Admittedly, they have not won any of the last ten games against English teams, and they have lost eight of them. The last time they managed to defeat the English team was in March 2016, it was Tottenham Hotspur, and the result was 1:2.
Against Werder Bremen, the young striker Youssouf Moukoko left the match after only 28 minutes due to a ligament injury and is expected to be out of action for up to six weeks. Instead of him, Sebastian Haller or Anthony Modeste are expected to play in the attack. Marius Wolf, Abdoulaye Kamara and Mateu Morey are also out, but Thomas Meunier has recovered from a muscle strain and is ready to battle Julian Ryerson for the right-back spot.
Striker Karim Adeyemi will be available after serving his suspension in the win against Bremen, while in-demand teenager Jude Bellingham – who has scored four goals in five Champions League games this season – should feature in midfield.
Chelsea Team News
Despite winning just 3 of 14 games in all competitions since taking charge at Chelsea, Graham Potter still has the full backing of the team’s management, ending speculation that he could leave the club. In the last match in the Premier League, the Blues drew with West Ham 1:1 on road, and the only goal for the visitors was scored by Joao Felix.
In all competitions, they registered only one victory from the last eight games, when they beat Crystal Palace at home with a score of 1:0. In the Premier League, they are in 10th place with 31 points won from 22 rounds.
The last time they beat as guests in all competitions was on October 25. Then they defeated Red Bull Salzburg. In the previous eleven meetings with German teams, they managed to win only three times.
N’Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic, Armando Broja and Edouard Mendy will not be available to the English coach for this game, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos have been left out of the squad for the Champions League matches. Wesley Fofana, Mateo Kovacic, Denis Zakaria, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly are question marks.
Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea H2H
It is interesting that this will be the first match between these teams, because they have never met in official matches.
Expected Lineups
Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Bellingham, Can; Adeyemi, Reus, Brandt; Haller
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; James, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly, Chilwell; Loftus-Cheek, Fernandez; Mount, Felix, Mudryk; Havertz
Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea Prediction
The home team is in very good shape and they are slight favorites in this match. On the other hand, Chelsea played a draw in the last four matches and are in a much weaker form than Dortmund. Therefore, our opinion is that there will be more than two goals in this match, and that the home team will win or that it will end in a draw.
