Match Preview
In the UEFA Youth League clash on October 1, Borussia Dortmund U19 will host Celtic U19 at the Fußballpark BVB Hohenbuschei. Dortmund's recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches (LLDLW), while Celtic arrives with a slightly better record, having secured two wins in their last five outings (DLWWL). Historically, these teams have faced each other only once, with Dortmund claiming a 1-0 victory, suggesting a tight contest.
One key angle to consider is Borussia Dortmund's defensive struggles, which have seen them concede in four of their last five matches. Conversely, Celtic's attack has shown promise, particularly in their recent performances, where they managed to score in three of their last five games. Given the odds favouring a low-scoring affair, with both teams to score priced at 1.44, this match could defy expectations if Celtic's forwards find their rhythm. Ultimately, the outcome may hinge on whether Dortmund can tighten their defence against a Celtic side eager to capitalise on any lapses.
