Borussia Dortmund will look to return to winning ways in the Champions League when they face Sturm Graz on Tuesday night.
Following back-to-back wins over Club Brugge and Celtic, Nuri Sahin’s side lost 5-2 at Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Sturm Graz have lost each of their opening three league phase matches.
⭐ Dortmund v Sturm Graz Best Bets
Look to Serhou Guirassy to get on the scoresheet on Tuesday night. The Borussia Dortmund striker has scored five times across his seven Bundesliga appearances this season, the most recent of which came against RB Leipzig on Saturday.
He has also netted three times for Dortmund in this season’s Champions League. Thus, Guirassy looks well placed to strike against a Sturm Graz side that have shipped five goals across their opening three league phase assignments.

🔍 Dortmund v Sturm Graz Players to Watch
⚪️ Dimitri Lavalee
Dimitri Lavalee looks like a strong contender to commit two or more fouls on Tuesday night at 2.25. The Sturm Graz left-back was guilty of three offences on matchday one away at Brest. He has averaged 1.39 fouls per-game in the Austrian Bundesliga this season.
Lavalee could be up against Dortmund’s Maximilian Beier. The BVB winger was fouled three times during his side’s 2-1 win over RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

💻 Dortmund v Sturm Graz Form and Tactics
Borussia Dortmund snapped a three-game losing run with a well-deserved 2-1 win over RB Leipzig on Saturday. It was a dominant performance from Dortmund who should have won with more room to spare. Nuri Sahin’s side won the shot count 20-7 and produced a 2.21 xG output to Leipzig’s tally of 0.48.
BVB have picked up just three yellow cards across their opening three Champions League games of the season, none of which were collected against Real Madrid last time out. It has been a different story in the Bundesliga though, with the German giants averaging 2.89 yellow cards per 90 this term.
Borussia Dortmund have lost the corner battle in two of their three continental contests this term. However, they did come out on top on the flag-kick front in their one and only home game thus far, racking up eight en route to seeing off Celtic.
While Sturm Graz are flying high at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga, they have looked out of their depth in Europe’s premier club competition to date. Christian Ilzer’s side have come away empty-handed from each of their opening three games with Brest, Club Brugge and Sporting Lisbon.
Sturm Graz were toothless in attack in their home game with Club Brugge. They produced a measly xG output of 0.40, managed just eight efforts on goal and just one shot on target. Similarly, they generated an xG figure of just 0.75 when hosting Sporting Lisbon.
The Austrian powerhouse have been the most ill-disciplined team across the opening three rounds of the new look league phase. Sturm Graz have amassed 13 yellow cards and one red. That card count has coincided with them committing a sizeable 45 fouls along the way, a tally topped only by Girona and Monaco.
