Preview: Borussia Dortmund vs Inter Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

The Nerazzurri have won one of their last three matches against BVB.

Borussia Dortmund are all set to battle it out against Inter Milan for their round 8 league phase outing of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. This is going to be an intense clash, taking place at the Signal Iduna Park.

BVB are doing well in the Bundesliga, but their performances in the UCL have not been up to the mark. They are in 16th place on the league phase table and will be looking to secure a win in their upcoming contest. Borussia Dortmund were outplayed by Tottenham Hotspur in their previous European competition game and they will now be looking to return to winning ways.

FC Internazionale Milano have lost all of their last three matches in the UEFA Champions League and will be under pressure for their next one. They will be away from home, but will be keen to put up a strong fight against Dortmund. Inter Milan will be eager to secure a win here and that might even help them secure a direct spot in the knockout stage of the tournament.
