Borussia Dortmund are headed to Croatia to take on Dinamo Zagreb on matchday five of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League.
The Black and Yellows have enjoyed a strong start to their Champions League campaign, with three wins from four matches leaving them with an excellent chance of qualifying for the knockout stage. BVB have struggled when not playing at home this season, though. And Wednesday's game will offer them with the opportunity to finally put an end to their six-game losing streak away from home.
Borussia Dortmund will undoubtedly be the favourites against Dinamo Zagreb, who were handed a 9-2 defeat by Bayern Munich on matchday one of the Champions League. They have since gotten their CL campaign back on track, though, with two wins and one draw in their last three matches.
One player Borussia Dortmund will have to be wary of is Martin Baturina, who is regarded as one of the most exciting young playmakers in Europe. The 21 year old will be eager to make an impact against Nuri Sahin's side.
Another young player who will look to shine on Wednesday is Jamie Gittens, who has six goals and four assists to his name this season. The winger has four goal contributions in four Champions League appearances.
Serhou Guirassy should also make his return to the Borussia Dortmund squad, having missed Saturday's clash against SC Freiburg due to illness.
Fans in the United States can watch Dinamo Zagreb vs Borussia Dortmund live on Paramount+. The game will be broadcast live in Germany on DAZN, while Discovery+ and TNT Sports will air the Champions League action in the United Kingdom.
