Borussia Dortmund have won six consecutive competition victories since the World Cup in Qatar and the winter break, with the team scoring at least twice. Midfielder Julian Brandt insists that the German players cannot rest on their laurels if they want to keep their place in the first team. In addition, the midfielder said that the level of the yellow-blacks is too high to slow down and humorously remarked last weekend: We cant act like an otter, lie on your back and relax. In the Bundesliga championship, Edin Terzic’s wards chalked up 13 wins and only one draw over 20 rounds, which corresponded to 40 points and the third position in the standings. In the last game Dortmund beat Werder Bremen (2:0) on the road. In the Champions League the meeting with Chelsea will be the first in history, while Terzic needs to find a recipe for success, because the fights against English clubs at Signal Iduna Park have not been successful, while the hosts have lost nine of the last 12 matches with British clubs. Mori Bauza, Mukoko and Wolf, who has a shoulder injury, will not be able to play.
Chelsea are heading to Germany in terrible shape and morale down. A tight 1:1 draw against West Ham on Saturday means the Londoners have won just one win in eight matches in 2023 and have failed to score more than one in any of those fixtures. However, Graham Potter has a shot at becoming the first English manager to win five consecutive Champions League matches and remains confident his team can reach the quarter-finals, ordering his team to give it their all to “deserve the right to win.” In the Premier League championship, the Blues recorded eight victories and seven peaceful outcomes over 22 rounds, which corresponds to 31 points and only 10th position, in which it is unusual to see the capital team. Before losing points in the derby, the guests played to zero with Fulham. Zakaria, Sterling, Kovacic, Fofana, Pulisic, Mendy, Maduke, Kante, Broja, Badiashile and Aubameyang, who is not yet in shape, will not be able to enter the field.
