Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal Predictions
Villarreal can score without derailing Dortmund
Dortmund conceded in eight of their 10 Champions League matches last season. Their 4-0 League Phase win over Villarreal was one of only two clean sheets across 10 European games.
Villarreal have taken only two points from four La Liga matches this season and are still without a win. Their first two games finished 2-2 against Racing Santander and Atletico Madrid before defeats to Alaves and Deportivo.
There is still plenty of attacking output from the visitors. Villarreal have generated 7.2 xG across those four league matches, the third-highest total behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. They also produced 1.74 xG despite losing 1-0 at Alaves.
Dortmund have already shown they can outscore an opponent this week, beating Hoffenheim 3-2 on Saturday. Villarreal’s 3-2 home defeat to Deportivo on the same day also provided another game with goals at both ends.
Dortmund won this fixture 4-0 last season, while Villarreal have produced 7.2 xG in four league games. I’m backing Borussia Dortmund and Both Teams To Score at 3.10.

Dortmund’s weekend result puts five goals back on the agenda
Four or more goals have been scored in three of Villarreal’s four La Liga games this season, and they have won none of them. Their opening two 2-2 draws with Racing Santander and Atletico Madrid were followed by a 1-0 defeat at Alaves and Saturday’s 3-2 home loss to Deportivo.
The Alaves defeat came despite Villarreal producing 1.74 xG. Across the full four-game spell they have recorded 7.2 xG, with only Real Madrid and Barcelona posting higher figures in La Liga.
Dortmund supplied a five-goal result of their own at the weekend as they beat Hoffenheim 3-2. Serhou Guirassy should lead the line after scoring twice in last season’s 4-0 victory over Villarreal, and he has also scored in both of his Bundesliga appearances this term.
Dortmund beat Hoffenheim 3-2 on Saturday, and Borussia Dortmund 3-2 could be worth a look at 19.00.
