Dortmund’s fine start to the season has not been limited just to their home assignments; the team has done well in Europe as well, and they head to this game on three straight wins in Group A. In their most recent game, they beat Atletico Madrid 4 – 0 and they need just a point to secure passage to the next stage of the competition. Dortmund are not only unbeaten in the group, they have also not conceded a goal in their opening three matches, while they have scored eight. Perhaps, the only surprises to have come from Dortmund in recent weeks are the draw with Hertha Berlin and the extra time win over Union Berlin in the German Cup but they have been dominant throughout and will hope to build on the big win over Atletico when they tour Spain. For Atletico, a team known for defensive discipline, this has really eluded them lately, with the team keeping just two clean sheets in the last five matches and to face a side with eight goals in three Champions League matches will prove a handful, while Dortmund also carries a good scoring run from their domestic assignments, having scored 30 goals in 10 matches. Heading to Spain, however, Dortmund will have to be aware that Atletico have not lost a home game this season. The Spaniards have won each of their last four matches, while they have five wins and a draw in the six matches they have had at home this season across all competitions. Atletico have lost just one of their last 15 Champions League games at home, winning 11.
