Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea predictions and betting tips on February 15, 2023



On February 15, Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund) will host the 1/8 final match of the Champions League, in which Borussia Dortmund will compete with Chelsea. The battle will start at 21:00 CET.
Borussia Dortmund
The team returned Edin Terzić to the position of the coach in the summer, but that time the young specialist started working without the prefix “interim”. Perhaps, the higher mentioned decision was regretted soon, because, even taking into account the departure of Haaland and a great number of injured players, “the Hornets” started the season in a pretty weak way. At the same time, they were able, unlike in the previous cycle, to reach the play-offs of the Champions League. An extremely simple group helped to succeed: there were powerful Manchester City, but, to be frank, weak Sevilla and Copenhagen. It is worth recognizing that “the Black and Yellows” were able to add in the game during the holidays. The winter segment began with a series of victories in the Bundesliga, and it turned out to overcome Bochum in the DFB Pokal.
Chelsea
The club is desperately trying to find a way out of the situation during the season. To be honest, having been bad, it turned into a catastrophic one closer to winter. The replacement of the mentor gave only a temporary effect. And, by the way, it helped the British team to reach the play-offs of the Champions League – however, there were rivals, except Milan, which belong to middle peasants, albeit ambitious ones, Red Bull and Dinamo (Zagreb). Still, the effect of Potter’s appointment disappeared soon. In January, Bowley tried to save the season by means of the new record contracts. Still, even with Enzo Fernandez and Mudryk in the squad, “the Aristocrats” could not score in the match against Fulham, prolonging their miserable statistics in the Premier League. There was a goal only in the battle with West Ham – Joao Felix, who had served a suspension, did his best, but still the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
German teams and their British opponents have got a long-standing and rather principled confrontation. Nevertheless, this particular pair of clubs will have the first head-to-head match.
Predictions
Bookmakers believe that Borussia, playing at home arena against a crisis rival, has more chances. We believe in the victory of the German club, and, in order to lower a risk, bet on it with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 2.03).
