Comments, predictions Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic: No chance

Both teams coming off impressive opening-day wins, Borussia Dortmund and Celtic will face each other in the Champions League next Tuesday night, when they meet in Germany.

While the Scottish champions have won every game this season, their toughest test awaits them at Dortmund, where the hosts have scored with ease in recent weeks.

Latest Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic squad information

While Nuri Sahin is hopeful of having Marcel Sabitzer back in contention after the Austrian midfielder missed Friday's derby win through injury, Gio Reyna remains out of action with a groin injury he picked up while on international duty with the United States.

Niclas Sule, Donyell Malen and Felix Nmecha are all likely candidates to start for Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, but there is no doubt over who will start up front.

Serhou Guirassy scored twice in his last game, after netting against former club Stuttgart and on the opening day of the Champions League - the Guinean forward has 42 goals in 53 Bundesliga appearances since September 2022.

Meanwhile, Celtic's attack is led by Kyogo Furuhashi - who scored twice at the weekend - with support from Daizen Maeda and former Germany U20 winger Nicolas Kuhn.

If Cameron Carter-Vickers can complete his return from a foot injury, Brendan Rodgers will have a fully healthy squad to choose from, with Adam Idah and James Forrest the main options on the bench.

Latest predicted lineup Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic

Borussia Dortmund:

Kobel; Couto, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Ryerson; Gross, Can; Adeyemi, Brandt, Gittens; Guirassy

Celtic:

Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Furuhashi, Maeda

Latest football commentary Borussia Dortmund vs Celtic

Last season's Champions League runners-up have started this year's campaign impressively, overcoming a slow start to score three goals past Club Brugge without a response at the Jan Breydel Stadion.

Substitute Jamie Gittens made a significant impact with two late goals in Belgium, before star striker Serhou Guirassy sealed the win with a stoppage-time penalty.

With the exception of the last two seasons, Dortmund have reached the knockout stages in each of the last 11 campaigns, and that will be their aim once again under new coach Nuri Sahin, who replaced Edin Terzic in the summer.

At just 36, the former BVB midfielder is the youngest coach to take part in this year's Champions League, but apart from the win in Bruges, his tenure has not gone smoothly so far.

A week after being beaten 5-1 by Stuttgart, Sahin's side were fortunate not to be three goals down in Friday's Bundesliga game at Bochum, before Guirassy scored twice and Karim Adeyemi provided two assists to turn things around.

While the defence may be a concern, Dortmund have scored 10 goals in three home games this season - and they have also lost just three of their last 17 European games at home.

Die Schwarzgelben will now face another former European champion, a team they have met twice before in the UEFA Cup, winning both legs.

Not only have Celtic never beaten Borussia Dortmund, the Scots have never won a competitive match in Germany, where they have lost their last four and nine of their last 11.

However, this time the Bhoys will go there in excellent form, having won all nine of their games so far this season - scoring 33 goals and conceding just four.

Brendan Rodgers' side last saw their side thrash St Johnstone 6-0 in the Scottish Premiership, and they have scored 16 goals in their last three games in all competitions.

The highlight of the run certainly came at Parkhead, as Celtic scored four goals in the second half of their opening group game against Slovan Bratislava, eventually winning 5-1 – the Glasgow club's biggest Champions League win to date.

In total, they have won their last 15 games, stretching back to a 3-3 draw with Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final in April - even in that game they won 6-5 on penalties.

Their aim is therefore to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League for the fourth time, but Celtic have had to improve badly in away games in European competition: they have won just one of their last 11 away games, losing nine.

Despite Celtic's excellent start to the season, the Scottish champions could struggle in Dortmund, as they have not always performed well away from home and a huge 'Yellow Wall' will be cheering the home side on.

No less than 11 of BVB's 18 goals this season have come in the final 30 minutes, so they should eventually break down their opponents' defence and seal another win.
