Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea Preview
Borussia Dortmund has scored two or more goals in every one of their matches so far in 2023, going 7-0 in those games, so don’t expect Premier League club Chelsea to enter this one overlooking them.
“In a knockout competition anything can happen,” Chelsea coach Graham Potter told the Evening Standard about his team’s upcoming matchup. “That’s the thing. It’s two games. I don’t think it’s valuable for us to look past Dortmund. We have the capability to beat Dortmund but they are also a strong side with the capability to get a result as well. We have to understand that, go to Dortmund with humility, with respect, and try to get the result. … [This squad] has won the Champions League. They’ve experienced it. They’ll want to fight for the game, that’s for sure, and that’s exciting for us.”
BVB currently sits in third place in the Bundesliga, and this will be a chance for the squad to prove itself on a bigger stage. BVB will be playing without Youssoufa Moukoko, however, as he injured his ankle in the team’s February 11 win over Werder Bremen.
“We need at least one win from the two legs to reach the next round and that will certainly be a little easier at home with the euphoria of 80,000 fans,” Dortmund coach Edin Terzić said, adding: “I can sense the anticipation in everyone involved. It’s not easy to analyze the tie. Chelsea have lost a few players and brought in key players. You don’t know exactly how they will line up here. As ever, though, we must focus on ourselves.”
The Blues last won on January 15 against Crystal Palace, 1-0, and they have managed just one goal in their three matches since, when they tied West Ham 1-1 on February 11. Chelsea is in 10th place in the Premier League and could use a win here to boost its spirits.
This will be the first ever meeting between these two clubs. The second leg will take place on March 7.
Here’s a look at the predicted lineups for both squads, courtesy of UEFA.com:
Dortmund: Kobel, Ryerson, Süle, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro, Salih Özcan, Bellingham, Adeyemi, Reus, Brandt, Haller
Will miss next match if booked: Ryerson
Chelsea: Kepa, James, Silva, Chalobah, Cucurella, Enzo Fernández, Kovačić, João Félix, Mount, Mudryk, Havertz
Will miss next match if booked: Gallagher, Koulibaly, Mount, Mudryk
