It has been a tough start to the UEFA Champions League campaign for Villarreal and things will not get any easier when they head to Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday to face Borussia Dortmund.

Winless after the first four rounds of fixtures, Villarreal are languishing down in 32nd place in the league phase standings, with just one point to their name so far.

Taking on a Dortmund side who have already accrued seven points so far, the Yellow Submarine are likely to leave Germany empty-handed.

Team news

Dortmund have a couple of injury issues at the back, with the pair of Niklas Sule and Ramy Bensebaini set to miss Tuesday's game.

However, there are no other fresh injury concerns, meaning the hosts have a number of options for this clash with the Yellow Submarine.

As for Villarreal, Willy Kambwala, Pau Cabanes and Manor Solomon are all expected to miss out on this game in Dortmund.

Georges Mikautadze has returned from injury, but it remains to be seen if he will be handed a starting role at Signal Iduna Park.

The stats

Dortmund have scored 13 goals in the Champions League this season, with only reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich scoring more.

Villarreal have only managed to score one goal in the Champions League so far this term, with only rock-bottom Ajax (1) scoring fewer.

Felix Nmecha is the leading goalscorer for BVB in Europe this season, already finding the back of the net on three occasions.

Dortmund are unbeaten at home this season in all competitions, winning four and drawing two of their six games at Signal Iduna Park so far this term.

Prediction

Dortmund might be stuttering in the Bundesliga, but they can get back to winning ways in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

There might well be a backlash after a 4-1 defeat at Manchester City in their last European game and Villarreal are next in the firing line.

With just two goals scored in the Champions League so far this term, it is hard to see the visitors getting on the scoresheet and BVB are tipped to claim the three points to maintain their strong home form.
