Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26

The previous outing between these clubs ended in a 2-2 draw.

Borussia Dortmund will have a face-off against Villarreal in their round 5 league phase fixture of the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 season. Signal Iduna Park will witness this interesting clash.

Die Borussen will be at home, and it is going to be an added advantage for them. They have failed to secure a positive outcome in their last three games, and this can become a problematic situation to process for the club. Borussia Dortmund were outplayed by Manchester City in their previous game in the European competition.

The Yellow Submarines have struggled to secure a win in the ongoing campaign of the UEFA Champions League. In their four matches, they have lost three and one of their games ended in a draw. Villarreal will be under pressure from the start as they will be the visiting side.

Players to Watch

Serhou Guirassy (Dortmund)

Serhou Guirassy will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side in the attacking front. He has not been on the scoresheet for Borussia Dortmund this season. However, in the upcoming UCL game, he will have a crucial role to play.

He is surely capable of scoring goals, making him a formidable opponent.

Gerard Moreno (Villarreal)

Gerard Moreno is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for the LaLiga side Villarreal. He is coming in after scoring a crucial goal for his side in the previous league game and will be keen to engrave his name on the score sheet yet again. A top performance by him is going to be essential for the Yellow Submarines.
