Borussia Dortmund take on the visitors APOEL at “Signal Iduna Park” in the gameweek four of the UEFA Champions League Group stage. The match will be played in Dortmund on Wednesday, November 1st.
Borussia Dortmund are currently in crisis as the team managed to win only one out of five recent encounters. Peter Bosz’s appointment as the side’s head-coach this summer is not justified as “Die Schwarzgelben” started to concede much and lose too many points in those battles where they could have escaped that. Last Saturday Borussia Dortmund were broken 2:4 by Hannover and lost their leading position in the Bundesliga, dropping to the second place in the table with 20 points taken after 10 rounds played. The Germans failed the first lap of the UEFA Champions League Group stage, having picked up only one single point in three games with 1:1 draw against APOEL in Cyprus as the symbol of bad luck and as a result of this - misty chances for promotion to the spring round of the UEFA Champions League. Borussia Dortmund got two defeats and three victories in five encounters played in face of their supporters.

After seven matches played in the Cyprus’ First Division, APOEL occupy the eighth place in the standings with 11 points earned and 9-6 goal difference. However, it should be noted that the team conducted two-three games fewer than its opponents. In the UEFA Champions League the Cypriots failed in two starting encounters to Real Madrid and Tottenham with the same 3:0 scoreline and deserved 1:1 draw against Borussia Dortmund. APOEL participated in nine clashes on the road in this season covering three triumphs, three draws and three losses.
Borussia Dortmund badly need a win with a handsome margin to allow their supporters to forget about all the recent failures of the club, otherwise I don’t believe that the Dutch coach will stay with the team no longer.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with -2.5 Asian handicap.
