On Wednesday, Dortmund receives Lazio Rome on the occasion of the 5th day of group F of the Champions League. The two teams are fighting for the 1st place.
Dortmund made a good impression in this group of Champions League and occupied the top of the standings with 1 point ahead of their opponent of the day and 5 ahead of the 3rd, not qualified for the 8th finals. Lucien Favre’s men did not start the competition well with a setback conceded in the lair of Lazio Rome (3-1). They reacted well thereafter by winning against Zenit (2-0) and against Club Brugge during the last 2 days (0-3 away and 3-0 at home). In the league, Borussia is currently 4th in the standings and has a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. Victorious with authority on the lawn of Hertha Berlin (2-5), Dortmund was then defeated at home by Cologne last weekend (1-2).
Back in the Champions League this season, Lazio Rome is currently 2nd in Group F of the Champions League. The Biancocelesti are eyeing 1st place (1 point behind) but must also still ensure their qualification for the knockout matches (4 points ahead of 3rd). After a significant success at home against Dortmund (3-1), Laziale, lessened by packages linked to covid-19, have chained 2 draws on the lawns of Club Bruges (1-1) and Zenit (1-1) ). Last week, they resumed their march forward by dominating, at home, Zenit (3-1). 9th in Serie A, Lazio disappointed last weekend by losing at home against Udinese (1-3). This setback put an end to a great series of 8 games without defeat (5 wins and 3 draws).
For Dortmund, defenders Zagadou and Schmelzer have been in the infirmary since the start of the season. They were recently joined by Brazilian midfielder who usually replaces Reiner (covid-19). Author of a double last week, the phenomenon Erling Haaland never ceases to impress and he has already scored 15 goals in 12 Champions League games!
Lazio Rome is weakened by the absences of important Lulic and Luiz Felipe, substitutes Proto and Muriqi and potential holders Cataldi and Escalante. The Biancocelesti have all the same recently recovered some important players like the inevitable Ciro Immobile who has scored in each of his last 6 games.
