After returning to winning ways at the Metropolitano on Tuesday, Wednesday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me once again focus on the Champions League, and I’ve highlighted one team in particular that appeals to me.
⚽️ Borussia Dortmund vs Athletic Club
🇪🇺 Champions League
⏰ Wednesday 1 October, 20:00
Two clubs in contrasting form meet at the BVB Stadion Dortmund on Wednesday night as in-form Borussia Dortmund hosts struggling Athletic Club on MD2 of the Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund were involved in the most entertaining match of MD1 in the Champions League, as they shared eight goals with Juventus in Turin, with BVB conceding twice in stoppage time.
Niko Kovac’s men were also involved in a high-scoring clash on the opening day of the Bundesliga season, drawing 3-3 away at St. Pauli.
However, since then, The Black and Yellow have won four straight in the Bundesliga, scoring eight goals and conceding none, propelling them up into second position in the Bundesliga table, two points behind leaders Bayern.
Athletic Club made an impressive start to their campaign, winning each of their opening three La Liga matches, at home to both Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano, and away at Real Betis.
However, Ernesto Valverde’s men have failed to win any of their next five matches in all competitions, losing four of them, with their solitary point coming at home to Girona, who currently sit at the foot of the La Liga table.
Bet of the Day
As alluded to, Borussia Dortmund come into this clash in good form, winning four of their last five matches in all competitions, with the only goals they conceded in that time coming in that crazy 4-4 draw away at Juventus on MD1.
Niko Kovac’s men have also won each of their past seven encounters in all competitions in front of the yellow wall – scoring on 20 occasions and conceding just four times – and I’m backing them to be too strong for an Athletic Club side that has lost four and drawn one of their past five contests in all competitions.
