On Wednesday, starting with 20:00, the Dortmund – Lazio match will be played, within the group stage of the Champions League. In the round, Lazio defeated Dortmund 3-1, through the goals scored by Immobile, Hitz (own goal) and Akpa Akpro, respectively Haaland. Thus, the Italians took the lead in the direct matches, now winning two of the three previous disputes.
Dortmund comes after a shocking result at the weekend, 1-2 at home to Cologne, in the Bundesliga. Lucien Favre’s students were a shadow of the team with an almost perfect game on Signal Iduna Park, allowing the “tapes” to tick an unexpected victory. Dortmund remains with 18 points, 4 less than the leader Bayern. In the Champions League, the “yellow-blacks” lead group F with 9 points, with an advance of one point over Lazio, their opponent on Wednesday.
Instead, Lazio did not give up and also lost on its own field in Serie A, 1-3 with Udinese. The group coached by Simone Inzaghi has only 14 points in the first 9 stages of Serie A, occupies the 9th place, and the undefeated leader AC Milan was 9 points away. The 8 points checked by Lazio in the Champions League place her in pole position for the second position, given that Brugge has accumulated 4 points and will play in the match directly with the last ranked, Zenit.
A strong match is announced for Dortmund, but the desire for revenge after the defeat in Rome will be huge. On Signal Iduna Park, the hosts are hard to beat and will try to get over the erased evolution of the weekend.
