Borussia Dortmund - Athletic: betting tip and bets for the Champions League match

Current form

In the first round, Borussia played Juventus in Turin and managed to take away one point. It would seem that this is a good result, but based on the scenario of the game, the bumblebees clearly lost two points. They led 4-2 until the 94th minute, but managed to concede two goals (4-4). They already had a similar scenario in the Bundesliga, when they led 3-1 with St. Pauli, but in the end they remained ten and allowed the opponent to equalize (3:3). In general, Niko Kovacs' team is having a successful start. In the Bundesliga, they scored 13 points in five rounds and are in second place, two points behind Bayern. We also managed to make a successful start in the German Cup with a minimal 1-0 victory over Essen. So far, Borussia has not suffered a single defeat in the official matches of the season.

Current form

Athletic played the first round match in the Champions League on their own field against Arsenal. The opponent had the advantage during the fights, the basques defended well, restrained attacks, and imposed a struggle in the center of the field. However, there were still not enough resources and forces. The Gunners made successful substitutions in the end, intensified the onslaught and scored two goals (0:2). Overall, the Basques have clearly started to decline after a strong start to the season, when they won three rounds in a row in the Primera. In the last four matches, Athletic has suffered three defeats and scored only a 1-1 home draw with Girona, which clearly cannot be counted as an asset. In the last round in La Liga, Ernesto Valverde's team lost on the road to Villarreal with a minimum score of 0:1.
