Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal prediction
THE FORECAST
Dortmund has picked up four consecutive victories and has Guirassy at their disposal, a proven Champions League goalscorer, though the defensive crisis (Schlotterbeck, Can and others injured) weakens the team considerably and forces Kovač to experiment with a three-man defense. Villarreal has had a poor start to the season and failed to score in five away matches last season, which limits the offensive threat for the visitors. The pleasant weather (approximately 22°C, minimal precipitation) favors neither hinders a specific playing style, but Dortmund's home advantage and attacking qualities tip the scales despite the significant injury list at the back.
