Match Facts

  • Bologna and Borussia Dortmund have never previously faced each other in European competition, while the Italian side’s only previous meetings with a German side came in the 1970-71 Cup Winners’ Cup against Vorwärts Berlin (0-0 away, 1-1 at home in the first round).

  • Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in their last three games against Italian sides in the UEFA Champions League (W1 D2), which is their longest run against such opposition in European Cup/Champions League action. Indeed, their last meeting with an Italian opponent was a 3-1 win away to Milan in November 2023.

  • Borussia Dortmund have only lost three of their last 16 matches in the group/league phase of the UEFA Champions League (W8 D5), although one of those did come in their last outing (2-3 v Barcelona). They haven’t lost back-to-back such matches since a run of three between October-November 2021.

  • Bologna have already had two nil-nil draws in the UEFA Champions League this season, including one against Benfica last time out. The last campaign in which a team had more was 2015-16, with Atlético de Madrid and PSV both playing out three goalless stalemates.

  • Borussia Dortmund have won three of their last four UEFA Champions League away games (L1), as many as in their previous 11 away trips combined (W3 D2 L6). They’ve also kept a clean sheet in each of those three victories, as many as they had in their previous 22 games on the road (3).

  • Bologna haven’t led at any point in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League so far, across 584 minutes of play. Indeed, they’re the only side who haven’t been ahead on the scoreboard this term.

  • Bologna are the only team who haven’t scored a goal from open play in the UEFA Champions League this season, despite attempting 46 shots. Indeed, their only goal in 2024-25 so far came from a free kick against Lille, scored by Jhon Lucumí.

  • Serhou Guirassy has scored six goals in 399 minutes of play in the UEFA Champions League this season. Of players to score 5+ goals in a European Cup/Champions League campaign for Borussia Dortmund, Guirassy’s minutes per goal ratio (67) is currently the highest in a single season. 

  • Bologna’s Lukasz Skorupski has conceded seven goals in the UEFA Champions League this season (excluding own goals), despite facing 10.8 xG on target. Indeed, only Paulo Gazzaniga (+4.6) has prevented more goals than Skorupski this term (+3.8), based on the quality of shots on target faced.

  • Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck leads all defenders for both progressive carries (89) and line-breaking passes (109) in the UEFA Champions League this season.
