Match Preview
Borussia Dortmund will be looking to make a strong start to their Champions League campaign when they host Sturm Graz in the first leg of their playoff round tie. The German giants will be confident of victory against the Austrian champions, but they will need to be wary of a potential upset.
Dortmund finished second in the Bundesliga last season, and they have strengthened their squad over the summer with the signings of Niklas Süle, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Karim Adeyemi. They will be expected to dominate possession and create plenty of chances against Sturm Graz.
Sturm Graz, on the other hand, are making their first appearance in the Champions League group stages. They won the Austrian Bundesliga last season, and they have a good record in European competition. They will be looking to make a statement against Dortmund, and they will be hoping to take a positive result back to Austria for the second leg.
Key Players to Watch
- Borussia Dortmund: Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland, Marco Reus
- Sturm Graz: Rasmus Højlund, Kelvin Yeboah, Otar Kiteishvili
Prediction
Borussia Dortmund will be confident of victory against Sturm Graz, but the Austrian champions are a dangerous team and they will be looking to cause an upset. Dortmund should have too much quality for the visitors, but a narrow victory is the most likely outcome.
