Dortmund Recent Form — Last 5
Villarreal Recent Form — Last 5
Key Factors
Dortmund possesses a superior attacking efficiency, averaging 2.38 goals per match, while Villarreal has collapsed in European competition, managing only 1 point from their last 8 matches.
The 4-0 head-to-head victory for BVB in late 2025 provides a significant psychological edge and a blueprint for exploiting Villarreal's fragile low block.
BVB faces a defensive crisis with Schlotterbeck and Emre Can sidelined, though Villarreal’s lackluster attack (0.63 goals/game) is ill-equipped to capitalize on these gaps.
Injuries & Absentees
Dortmund is severely hampered defensively with Nico Schlotterbeck (inner ligament) and Emre Can (ACL) out long-term. The recent loss of Giannis Konstantelias to an ACL injury on August 31 strips away their primary creative engine. Villarreal remains without Juan Foyth (Achilles), leaving their backline vulnerable to BVB's pace.
