Match Facts

  • Borussia Dortmund have played 42 games against Spanish sides and faced eight different opponents in major European competition (W14 D11 L17), although this will be the first time they have played against Villarreal.

  • Borussia Dortmund have only lost three of the 17 times they’ve hosted Spanish opponents in the UEFA Champions League (W8 D6), including three wins in four such matches since the start of the 2023-24 season (L1).

  • Villarreal are winless in their last four away games against German sides in Europe (D3 L1), drawing in each of their last three trips. Their last victory away to a German opponent was a 3-2 win at Bayer Leverkusen in March 2011 in the UEFA Europa League (last 16, first leg).

  • Since the start of the 2022-23 campaign, Borussia Dortmund have only lost one of their 18 home matches in the UEFA Champions League (W11 D6): a 3-2 defeat to Barcelona in December 2024. Of teams to feature in each campaign since 2022-23, only Bayern Munich (5%) and Internazionale (5%) have a lower loss percentage in home matches than Dortmund (6%).

  • Villarreal are currently 32nd in this season’s UEFA Champions League standings, with just one point from four matches (D1 L3). Based on Opta’s expected points data, however, they are the team with the biggest underperformance (-19) between their actual position (32nd) and expected position (13th).

  • Borussia Dortmund’s four matches in the UEFA Champions League this season have seen a total of 24 goals scored (13 for, 11 against); the most ever for a team through their opening four matches in a single edition.

  • 10 different players have scored for Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most different scorers for a team (excluding own goals), along with Paris SG.

  • Villarreal defender Santiago Mouriño has the most combined tackles and interceptions (25) in the UEFA Champions League this season, while only Matheus Silva (42) has won more duels than the Uruguayan (35) in the current edition.

  • After scoring 13 goals in 14 UEFA Champions League games last season, Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy has netted just once in four matches in the competition so far this term. Indeed, Guirassy is averaging just 0.32 xG per 90 in the current edition, after averaging 1.02 per 90 in the Champions League last season.

  • Villarreal’s Nicolas Pépé is one of only seven players with 10+ chances created (10) and 10+ progressive passes from open play (11) in the UEFA Champions League this season, along with Florian Wirtz, Kylian Mbappé, Jens Petter Hauge, Bradley Barcola, Michael Olise and Lee Kang-In.
