Dortmund host AC Milan at Signal Iduna Park in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. <\/a><\/strong>The hosts lost 2-0 at PSG on matchday one whilst the Rossoneri were held 0-0 at home by Newcastle. This will be the first meeting between the sides in 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BVB\u2019s only loss this season came on matchday one against PSG. In the Bundesliga, it\u2019s four wins and two draws in six matches. They dropped points in rounds two and three in the league as they drew 1-1 at Bochum and 2-2 at home to newly promoted FC Heidenheim having led 2-0 after an hour. A 4-2 win at Freiburg from 2-1 down came before the trip to Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2-0 loss to PSG saw the side outclassed as they allowed 2.44 xG as the coach used a back five. They responded well in a 1-0 home win over Wolfsburg as they outshot their opponents 18-7. On Friday night, they were outplayed in spells but won 3-1 at TSG Hoffenheim. They allowed 15 shots but only three were on target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Right-backs Thomas Meunier and Mateu Morey are both ruled out for this match. Julian Ryerson could play in that role once again after scoring on Friday. Marcel Sabitzer is doubtful with a groin injury after missing the last match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coach Edin Terzic could again leave Sebastien Haller on the bench with Niclas Fullkrug starting up front. Big names like Emre Can and Niklas Sule will be hoping to start but the latter may be left on the bench. Speedy wide forward Karim Adeyemi is competing with Donyell Malen for the left-winger role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After losing to PSG, BVB needs a win in this match ahead of a trip to Newcastle on matchday three. Another loss would be a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terzic\u2019s side are attacking when they play 4-3-3 (as expected in this one) and will play to win the match. At no point will they settle on a draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s been a very good start to the season for Milan. Their opening three Serie A matches yielded nine points and eight goals scored. In round three, they won 2-1 away at AS Roma despite playing over 30 minutes with ten men. A 5-1 thrashing vs Inter Milan saw Pioli\u2019s side all 2.65 xG. Matchday one saw a 0-0 draw with Newcastle with 25 shots attempted and four \u2018big chances\u2019 missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since that slight setback, Milan have won three Serie A matches in a row. A 1-0 home win over Verona preceded a 3-1 win at Cagliari. On Saturday, two second-half goals brought a 2-0 home win over Lazio. They put up 2.24 xG to just 0.52 xG for Maurizio Sarri\u2019s men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stefano Pioli is without four players for this match. Defender Pierre Kalulu and midfielder Ismael Bennacer will both miss this match. The midfield is stretched as both Rade Krunic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also set to be absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yunus Musah and Yacine Adli are set to start in the engine room. Christian Pulisic will hope to keep his place on the right wing in preference to Samuel Chukwueze. Olivier Giroud will lead the line despite Noah Okafor\u2019s strong recent form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n After drawing their first match, AC Milan will want to avoid defeat in this one and give themselves a mountain to climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A point would be a good result. They are likely to be quite circumspect and not allow Dortmund too much space to revel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dortmund<\/strong> are unbeaten in their last 22 home matches (all competitions) <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The stats point to a home clean sheet in this one. Dortmund needs a victory and they\u2019re backed to get it considering AC Milan\u2019s away struggles in Europe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dortmund host AC Milan at Signal Iduna Park in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":416908,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","beyondwords_generate_audio":"1","beyondwords_project_id":"20741","beyondwords_content_id":"6f47212f-a638-46ec-8799-1c6d71793434","beyondwords_preview_token":"","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"6f47212f-a638-46ec-8799-1c6d71793434","beyondwords_hash":"f98cf05e419e308106244bbc4fbe09a6440a9403","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"","speechkit_status":"","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":""},"categories":[969,1308],"tags":[415,949,283,393,1301,719,925,505],"yoast_head":"\nDortmund Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
