what to know
- Graham Potter took charge of Chelsea earlier this season after Thomas Tuchel was sacked. The 47-year-old Englishman began his coaching career in 2008 at Leeds Carnegie. Swansea City and most recently Brighton and Hove Albion. His position is under threat after a disappointing start to the year and the game against Borussia Dortmund will tell us a lot more about his near future.
- Borussia Dortmund has a sharper attack than Chelsea. They have scored more goals in the Champions League than their upcoming opponents (11 to 10) despite registering fewer shots on target (23 to 42), creating fewer chances (65 to 89) and fewer take-ons (53 to 57) executed.
- Chelsea uses the ball differently than Borussia Dortmund. They have more touches than their upcoming opponents, have made more passes, passes into the last third, through balls and crosses. Dortmund, on the other hand, has completed more long balls (209 to 174).
forecast
Graham Potter desperately needs to win this game to save his job after a disappointing start to the season, but it won’t be easy at all against the German side. Choose: Borussia Dortmund 2, Chelsea 0.
