Borussia Dortmund Preview – Will the Germans start with a win?
Edin Terzic’s Borussia Dortmund have made a solid start to their season. After six league and cup games, the Black and Yellows have won five and lost one. They currently sit second behind surprise leaders Freiburg in the Bundesliga table.
After a dramatic 3-2 loss at home to Werder Bremen, Borussia have bounced back with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Hertha Berlin and Hoffenheim. They would certainly take another 1-0 victory this Tuesday.
With Man City and Sevilla also in a tough-looking Group G, Dortmund will want to get off to a winning start, especially as they travel to the Etihad Stadium in the next one. The Bundesliga side are the bookies’ favourites on their own patch.
Copenhagen Preview – Can the Danes cause an upset in Germany?
Copenhagen won the Danish Superliga last term, beating Midtjylland to the title by three points. They will be hoping to be the top dogs in Denmark once again whilst also having a good run in the Champions League.
Copenhagen have made a poor start to their title defence, though, winning four and losing four of their opening eight. They are already six points behind leaders Randers in sixth. However, they did pick up a much-needed victory over Silkeborg in their last one.
