Borussia Dortmund, disheartened by the lack of wins in their last five matches, will be seen as an entirely different animal in this game in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk.
They are known to respond well to setbacks, and they broke their string of losses with a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga over the weekend. They will be expected to go for broke in this game.
Dortmund’s willingness to sit back and defend when they lose possession can also be construed as a strength. With only Felix Nmecha and Niklas Sule ruled out with injuries, Mike Tullberg can play his almost full-strength side in this game.
Guirassy and Gittens, who have often impressed with their link-up play in the final third, will be given the freedom to push deep and challenge Shakhtar’s defenders.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Shakhtar Donetsk: (4-3-3): Kobel; Ryerson, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Groß, Can (c), Brandt; Adeyemi, Guirassy, Gittens
Although Shakhtar Donetsk do not enjoy any historical advantage over Dortmund, or in the Champions League in general, they will be dangerous if the home team allow themselves to lose the ball far too often.
Shakhtar like to wait for chances to come their way, and when they do, they are known to regroup quickly and convert their formation into an attacking one in which their wingers get full freedom to push forth.
At the time of writing, Shakhtar are ranked in the lowly 27th position of the cumulative table with just 7 points from as many games, and this is a far cry from Dortmund, who are perched upon the 14th spot with 12 points.
The visiting side, however, will feel the advantage of not having any injured players or suspensions in this game. They will verily need every player in their squad to be fit and available for such a big showdown at the Signal Iduna Park.
Shakhtar Donetsk predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund: (4-1-4-1): Riznyk; Konoplia, Bondar, Matviyenko (c), Ghram; Gomes; Zubkov, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Kevin; Traoré
Bet hereBorussia Dortmund quite clearly have a massive advantage over Shakhtar Donetsk in this game, and we expect them to win by a comfortable margin. The fact that they are playing in familiar conditions will also bode well for Dortmund, and help them move upwards in the cumulative standings of this tournament.
Dortmund have not won a single game in their last five outings, and one can expect them to break the streak here. Although Donetsk won their previous game 2-0 over French side Brest in the Champions League, they will be expected to wither in front of the superior Dortmund lineup, both in attack and defence.
A total of over 2.5 goals are expected to be scored here in this game between Dortmund and Donetsk, most of which might come from the home team’s stable.
Dortmund’s Guirassy has already scored on seven occasions in this tournament so far, and can be expected to not hold back when he meets Donetsk’s hapless defence.
The visiting side have defended rather poorly all season, as can be seen by the fact that they have conceded a whopping thirteen goals in the tournament in seven matches. This translates to almost two goals conceded in every game that they have played.
Dortmund have played two games against Donetsk in the past, but have never lost against them. They won one and drew the other match.
