Dortmund – Lazio Picks & Prediction
Dortmund - Lazio Prediction, Picks and Tips
Borussia Dortmund and Lazio Roma cross swords on this fifth match day in Westphalia. The Germans know that they are placed in a draw for the next round.
For Borussia Dortmund, it is a group phase without too many difficulties for the time being. The German top team lost on the opening matchday to Lazio Roma (3-1), but after that Der BVB picked it up well. With victories over Zenit Saint Petersburg and Club Brugge (twice), Dortmund has reached a subtotal of nine, leading Group F of the Champions League. Club Brugge is on four points, so if Dortmund takes a point on Wednesday, the team of Lucien Favre can no longer be traced to the Belgians.
However, Dortmund not only has the goal of qualifying for the knockout stage, but also as a group winner. In that case, stronger opponents are usually bypassed in the eighth finals. The yellow-blacks had bad luck in this context last year. Earlier this calendar year, in the eighth finals, they met Paris Saint-Germain, who had finished second in his group. The adventure for Der BVB then ended in the first knock-out round.
Lazio Roma has one point less than Borussia Dortmund after four match days. The Italians played their two away matches - at Zenit and Club Brugge - in a draw, and managed to turn their two home games - against Dortmund and Zenit - into a win. The Russians were the opponent in the previous round. In Stadio Olimpico I Biancocelesti won 3-1. One could be grateful for goalgetter Ciro Immobile. With two hits, of which a very nice one, he contributed strongly to the victory.
The shape of Lazio is not very good. In Serie A, the Romans often make a mistake. Last weekend, for example, there was quite an unexpected loss. Lazio miscalculated Udinese in a home game, which left the Italian capital with a 1-3 win. Lazio therefore did not have a good dress rehearsal for Wednesday's tough match in Germany. The season is still relatively young, but Lazio is only ninth in the Italian ranking.
