SabahNo absentees
Borussia DortmundNo absentees
Borussia Dortmund arrive in Azerbaijan under pressure after a surprise 1-0 defeat at Bodo/Glimt, and face a Sabah side yet to lose at home in this Champions League league phase (5.45pm UK time).
Anthony Eadson’s Sabah vs Borussia Dortmund predictions, best bets and score prediction for Tuesday’s 5.45pm (UK time) kick-off are below.
Premium Tips
There is a clear gap in class here, so we have focused on the visitors’ attacking threats, with kick-off at 5.45pm (UK time).
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Serhou Guirassy to score anytime | 8/11 (Sky Bet) | Guirassy has been Borussia Dortmund’s go-to man in the league phase, netting both times he has featured and leading the line in their 3-2 win over Villarreal. Dortmund have found the net in each of their opening two games, and while Sabah shut out Slavia Praha at home, they shipped four on their last trip to Manchester United. Against a finisher of this calibre, the hosts will do well to keep him quiet on a night the visitors are heavy favourites. |
| Julian Ryerson to be shown a card | 5/1 (bet365) | Julian Ryerson has picked up two bookings in five Bundesliga appearances this season. Sabah have already shown they can hurt sides on the counter, beating Slavia Praha 2-0 on matchday two, which could leave Borussia Dortmund’s full-backs exposed if they push on. Ryerson is aggressive in the tackle, and Dortmund lost 1-0 at Bodo/Glimt last time out, so their defenders will want to stamp out any threat early. bet365’s 5/1 on him being carded is worth a small play. |

How Sabah go into the game
Sabah sit 22nd in the Champions League league phase after collecting three points from their opening two matches. Most recently they produced the surprise of the round at home, beating Slavia Praha 2-0 to record their first win and a clean sheet in the competition.
That victory followed a chastening start on the road, where they lost 4-0 at Manchester United. With just one win and one defeat from both their games, Sabah will take real heart from an unbeaten home record as they host far more fancied opponents.
How Borussia Dortmund go into the game
Borussia Dortmund go into this one 18th and level on three points with their hosts, having taken a win and a defeat from their opening two games. Last time out they slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Bodo/Glimt, a result that leaves them with ground to make up.
Their other outing was more encouraging, a 3-2 home win over Villarreal that showcased their attacking quality. Dortmund have conceded in both matches, though, shipping three goals in two games, so their defence remains a question mark heading to Baku.
Sabah vs Borussia Dortmund head-to-head
The two clubs have never met in a competitive fixture, so there is no head-to-head record to lean on here and both sides step into fresh territory.

| Over 2.5 goals | 2/5 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Dortmund’s two fixtures have produced six goals between them, and Sabah’s matches have tended to be open affairs at both ends. |
| Correct score Sabah 1-2 Borussia Dortmund | 8/1 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | Dortmund edged Villarreal 3-2 last month, a result that suggests they can win here while leaving the back door ajar. |
Sabah vs Borussia Dortmund score prediction
Dortmund’s defensive wobble at Bodo/Glimt is a slight concern, but their quality should still tell against a Sabah side unbeaten at home. We expect a competitive night in Baku that the visitors edge. Score prediction: Sabah 1-2 Borussia Dortmund.
