There are some offensive juggernauts taking place in this years competition. Teams like Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and more. Out of all the teams participating, it is Dortmund who has seen the most goals over their first four matches. They have played four matches so far and have outscored their opponents 13-11 over those games. Their defense has been shambolic, but luckily, their offense has been incredible. While Villarreal have had a brutal start in UCL, I expect them to press for a desperate three points here, which should lead to an open, high scoring match.
As we suspect these two could blow by the 2.5 total on Wednesday, we might recommend a bit of shopping in the marketplace to see if any better prices are available on a total of 3. No matter, over is our preference mostly because BVB continues to score goals for fun (3-3 on the weekend vs. Stuttgart in Bundesliga action) and in the Champs League; 24 goals have been scored in tis four matches, and that's with lethal striker Serhou Guirassy barely registering (just one goal). Meanwhile, Villarreal is desperate for a result though its Liga form has been good, as vet Gerard Moreno (goals in two straight in Liga) seems to have relocated his scoring radar. Play BVB-Villarreal Over
This should be an entertaining game between two strong teams. Dortmund have scored 13 goals in four Champions League games this season, but they’ve also conceded 11 times. That means their UCL games have seen an average of six goals. They drew 3-3 with Stuttgart at the weekend, which underlined their attacking dynamism and defensive frailties. Villarreal could cause problems for Dortmund’s struggling defense. They’re now third in La Liga after beating Mallorca 2-1 at the weekend. They’ve scored 2 goals per game in the league this season, and they now need to replicate that form in the Champions League.
