Comments, predictions Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund: Away team wins hard

Last season's runners-up Borussia Dortmund begin their quest to regain the Champions League title on Wednesday, when they travel to Club Brugge's Jan Breydel Stadium.

While BVB came close to European glory last season, Brugge failed to qualify for the Champions League and are now eagerly awaiting the group stage in the tournament's new format.

Latest Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund team information

After summer signing Serhou Guirassy made his first start for Borussia Dortmund in his last appearance, having recovered from a knee injury sustained on international duty, the Guinean forward will compete with Maximilian Beier for a starting spot this week.

Another BVB striker, Karim Adeyemi, has had a brilliant start to September, not only scoring five goals in two games for Germany's Under-21s but also bagging a Bundesliga brace on Friday night.

Brazilian winger Yan Couto has withdrawn from the Brazil squad through injury but returned as a substitute against Heidenheim; however, American star Gio Reyna is likely to miss out again with a groin problem.

Meanwhile, Kyriani Sabbe has returned from injury for Club Brugge, but Bjorn Meijer and Casper Nielsen remain sidelined.

Danish winger Andreas Skov Olsen is the hosts' top scorer this season with three goals, while teenager Chemsdine Talbi broke into the first-team squad and scored as a substitute last weekend.

Captain Hans Vanaken - who has made the most appearances in Blau-Zwart's Champions League history (38) - was directly involved in seven goals in their run to the Europa Conference League semi-finals last season, scoring six and providing one assist.

Latest football commentary Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund

Although they ultimately fell short at Wembley, memorable wins in Newcastle, Milan and Paris took Borussia Dortmund to a third Champions League final in their history last season, with only a powerful Real Madrid stopping them from celebrating their surprise success in London.

Under the guidance of Edin Terzic, a BVB fan since childhood, Dortmund topped the so-called 'group of death', before beating PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid to reach the semi-finals, where they met Paris Saint-Germain again.

Despite impressing in Europe, Dortmund could only finish fifth in the Bundesliga, 27 points behind unbeaten champions Bayer Leverkusen - the club's worst domestic finish since 2015.

However, thanks in part to a Champions League performance that boosted Germany's UEFA coefficient and secured five automatic places, Dortmund returned to the tournament for the ninth consecutive time.

All but two of their last 11 seasons have seen Die Schwarzgelben make the knockout stages, so that will be the minimum target under new coach Nuri Sahin, who replaced Terzic in the summer.

At just 36, the former midfielder will be the youngest coach to take part in this year's Champions League, and he heads into Wednesday's opener with an unbeaten record: BVB have won two and drawn one of their first three games under Sahin, following a 4-2 win over Heidenheim on Friday in which Karim Adeyemi scored twice.

Dortmund will face familiar opponents in the first of eight group stage matches, as this is the third time they have faced Club Brugge in the last seven seasons.

Dortmund now have four wins and one defeat in their previous six encounters, and the German side have won their last four games in Belgium without conceding a goal.

Although the Champions League format is changing, Brugge and Dortmund are both familiar names in Europe's top competition: they have reached this stage six times in the last seven seasons.

However, Brugge failed to reach the tournament last season, just a year after making it past the group stage for the first time, where they were beaten by Benfica in the last 16.

Their reward for winning the Belgian Pro League last season is a tough group this time around, with AC Milan and Manchester City also among their upcoming opponents.

With eight points expected to be enough to reach the playoffs, Brugge have every reason to fight, especially after a deep run in the 2023-24 Europa Conference League.

In the Europa Conference League, Club Brugge qualified through three rounds and then won five of their six group matches, before defeating Molde and PAOK in the knockout rounds; however, Fiorentina then emerged victorious 4–3 in a dramatic semi-final.

Brugge were unbeaten at home in Europe last season, and strong form at the Jan Breydel Stadium also saw them become Belgian champions for a record 19th time, winning the league for the fourth time in five years.

After guiding the team to the top of the table, Nicky Hayen's interim role was made permanent over the summer, and his side are now top of the table again, having won four of their first seven games - including a 3-0 win over Kortrijk last week, with Hans Vanaken scoring twice.
