Borussia Dortmund
The team spends an extremely controversial season. Not for nothing, after six months, Nuri Shahin was released by the head coach. And by irony it happened just after the duel in the Champions League, the only tournament, where it was quite good. At that moment, in 2024, the club won four times, and de facto closed the question of entering the playoffs. But still, after the unlikely defeat of the modest Bologna, the Turkish German was released.
Already without him, with Tillman as a temporary mentor, it was possible to calmly defeat the motivated miner. The new full -fledged mentor, Nico Kovach, made his debut in Portugal in the Champions League. And suddenly defeated the opponent 3: 0. This is despite the fact that both before, and after the Bundesization, they lost!

The club was able to won Primeire last season last season. And in the new cycle, despite the Super Bowl, he was generally confident, solid. But then there was a shock in the form of a sudden departure of Ruben Amorim in Manchester United. And then there were two coaching rooks for more than a month, and even for the present mentor, Borzhesh, there were failures – what is worth the defeat, albeit on the penalty, in the League Cup, Benfice.
Perturbations were also affected by the Portuguese speeches in the Champions League. The club, which scored 10 out of 12 points in the first rounds, in particular, defeated Manchester City 4: 1, added only a draw with a weak Bologna after the lesions from the arsenal, Bruges and RB Leipzig – but that was the same 1: 1 with the Italians with the Germans. At home, however, they gave way to them, not answering three missed ones.
Personal meetings
The clubs were played in 2016 and 2021. And the representative of Germany then won three times in a row, and only then gave way to 1: 3 at the exit.
Forecast
Bookmakers are waiting for a new victory for the Germans, but their current form is such that guests are required to try to make a cabec. We are waiting for a total of more than 2.5 heads (coefficient – 1.7).
