Borussia Dortmund - Sturm Graz: Form Analysis
Borussia Dortmund will be out to extend their impressive home form when they host Austrian champions Sturm Graz. Last year’s finalists, Dortmund opened their current campaign with back-to-back wins.
However, on Match Day 3, they were thumped by Real Madrid in a repeat of last season’s final. That 5-2 defeat in Spain was really sobering and Dortmund went on to lose two more matches before returning to winning ways.
Here they come very confident after ending Leipzig’s unbeaten start in the Bundesliga with a 2-1 win. They will be seeking a 10th straight home win.
Facing German clubs, Sturm Graz lost six times in eight matches.
Sturm Graz are struggling in Europe, as they go into their first match against German opposition in 19 years. They are one of the six teams yet to earn a point in the Champions League.
After losses to Brest, Club Brugge and Sporting Lisbon, this isn’t a match that offers many guarantees for the Austrians. They only have one goal to show from their opening three league phase matches.
As they are relatively inexperienced in this competition compared to Dortmund, their place as underdogs is clear. This is only the fourth time they play in the Champions League proper.
In the Austrian Bundesliga, Sturm Graz kept their three-point lead intact as they drew 1-1 with second placed Austria Vienna on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund & Sturm Graz Squad Analysis
The hosts are dealing with a lengthy injury list though this is not viewed as a reason they could struggle at home. They are without Waldemar Anton, Julian Ryerson, Gregor Kobel, Niklas Sule, Yan Couto, Karim Adeyemi, Julien Duranville and Giovanni Reyna.
It is not all gloomy though; new signing Sehrou Guirassy has been in excellent form. His tally of 13 goals in 12 matches for club and country means he has capacity to influence this game.
Guirassy grabbed the winner in the last match, against Leipzig. He is one of three Dortmund players on three goals in the Champions League. Adeyemi and Jamie Glittens are the others.
Dortmund are the leading scorers in the Champions League; three of their players are on three goals each.
At Sturm Graz, two injuries have been reported ahead of this game. Gregory Wuthrich is not yet back since being withdrawn after 10 minutes of their Match Day 1 clash with Brest.
A few days later, Wuthrich was joined in the infirmary by Jon Gorenc Stankovic, with an almost similar hand injury. Stankovic, who has three assists this season, is nursing a forearm fracture and would have loved to feature against his former club but this game comes too soon.
Former Arsenal man Mika Biereth is having a good season, scoring nine times so far in all competitions. He will be the Sturm Graz focal person in their search for a first win in the league phase.
