Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal Prediction
Borussia Dortmund Form
Borussia Dortmund recorded two wins in their last three matches, but started off by losing 1-2 against Bayern Munich. They responded by beating Hamburger SV 2-0, and followed that up by winning 2-3 against Hoffenheim. Borussia Dortmund claimed four wins in their last six Champions League matches at the Signal Iduna Park. They came through these games with a record of one draw and one defeat, in which they conceded six and scored 15 goals.
Villarreal Form
Villarreal recorded a single draw in their previous three games, and they claimed it in a 2-2 match against Atletico Madrid. Then Deportivo Alaves proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat, just like Deportivo de A Coruna who won 2-3. Villarreal are winless in their last six away games in the Champions League, in which they drew one and lost five. They conceded 12 goals while scoring one themselves.
Borussia Dortmund look well suited to build on their current momentum against visitors Villarreal. We expect them to deliver the goods in their upcoming clash at Signal Iduna Park.
