Borussia Dortmund will be on the road in the Champions League this Wednesday, as they come up against Dinamo Zagreb.
It has been another eye-catching start to the Champions League for last season’s runners-up, winning three of their opening four. A victory on Wednesday could see them end the round at the top of the standings.
However, Dinamo Zagreb should be full of confidence ahead of this showdown with their Bundesliga opponents. Dinamo have won each of their last two, and have avoided defeat in three Champions League outings.
