Signal Iduna Park will host a high-profile Champions League encounter as Borussia Dortmund take on Villarreal on Tuesday evening, with both sides arriving with something to prove. Dortmund will be aiming to make a winning start to their European campaign despite missing suspended duo Bensebaini and Schlotterbeck. Giannis Konstantelias and Jefferson Lerma are also sidelined through injury, but the hosts head into the clash after a 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim. The Yellow-Blacks have scored 2.10 goals per game across their last 10 matches and have failed to score just once.
Villarreal, meanwhile, need a response after a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Deportivo La Coruna in which their defensive problems were exposed. The Yellow Submarine are now four games without a win at the start of the new La Liga campaign, while their recent away record shows just a 29% win rate and 1.71 goals conceded per match. Villarreal have also kept no clean sheets in their last 10 away games. Santi Comesana and Tajon Buchanan are pushing for starts after impressing off the bench at the weekend.
Considering Borussia's home advantage and Villarreal's shaky defence, Home Win should be considered, alongside Borrusia Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Villarreal’s matches average 3.40 goals, while Dortmund average 3.30).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 8 September 2026 at 20:00.
