Borussia Dortmund take on the visitors Copenhagen in the round 1 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 6th at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund).
Borussia Dortmund expect a lot from this season. The Black-and-Yellows had an unsuccessful last draw. Including in the Champions League, finishing the fight in it already in the group stage. But still, below a fairly high level, and under Marco Rosa, they didn’t manage to fall, so the Germans still had a pass to the main European Cup. And, most importantly, with Edin Terzic returning to the post of head coach, it turns out to play mostly with dignity and success. Although, of course, there was an enchanting misfire in the form of weak-willed 2-3 at home with Werder. But, on the other hand, in all other matches there was only 1 conceded goal. And they won the minimum 1-0 three times.

Copenhagen looks more confident in the international arena so far. The “Lions” unexpectedly hard start in the Danish championship. They very often, literally in every second round of the Superleague, lost points there, even losing matches. But so far, Jess Thorup and his team have been able to make up for these setbacks by making it through to the Champions League group stage. Yes, they had only 1 stage of selection, but at the same time with a serious opponent - Trabzonspor. The newly-made Turkish champion conceded a goal in the capital of Denmark at the beginning of each half (we note Viktor Klasson, who opened the scoring already in the 9th minute), but in the end Bakasetas sharpened the intrigue with his goal. But on the road, Copenhagen could satisfy with a draw, and the Danes frankly played away at 0-0. And we achieved this by managing not to miss. But, of course, now they will have games against obviously more hardened ones. Although, of course, the visitors wouldn’t mind to keep 0-0 in Germany too.
The only time Borussia Dortmund and Copenhagen intersected at the beginning of the century, in 2001, was within the framework of the UEFA Cup. Then the Germans won both meetings with the same score 1-0. Borussia Dortmund is naturally considered the favorite of the pair. But they are unlikely to give up her current style - you can bet on "less than 3.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
