The upcoming UEFA Champions League clash between Borussia Dortmund and Celtic at the Westfalenstadion promises to be an exciting contest. Dortmund will be aiming to build on their opening win and recent 4-2 Bundesliga triumph over VfL Bochum, while Celtic come into the game in great form, having dominated domestically, including a 6-0 victory over St. Johnstone.
Borussia Dortmund, under Nuri Şahin’s management, will be counting on Serhou Guirassy, who is in red-hot form with four goals in his last three games. Dortmund’s defense, however, has been shaky, having conceded nine goals in their last three matches. This will be a key concern for them as they face a potent Celtic attack led by Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda, and new signings Nicolas Kühn and Adam Idah. Celtic’s midfield talent Arne Engels has also made a significant impact since joining from FC Augsburg.
While Dortmund will rely on their attacking talents like Jamie Gittens and Karim Adeyemi, they will be cautious of Celtic’s offensive threat, especially if key defender Cameron Carter-Vickers remains sidelined. Celtic will be looking to exploit Dortmund’s defensive vulnerabilities, with Brendan Rodgers aiming to capitalize on their high-flying start to the season.
In terms of squad fitness, Dortmund might have Gio Reyna back, but Marcel Sabitzer is doubtful. For Celtic, Carter-Vickers remains an injury concern, but their squad depth gives them options.
This matchup could be a thrilling and closely fought contest between two attacking teams.
