Sabah FK Baku VS Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund’s away record in the Champions League makes for grim reading, with four consecutive road losses and 22 goals shipped across their last eight away European outings. This widely cited pre-match stat is often used to brand the side as inherently fragile on their travels, but that generalization misses key nuance. Their away issues never stem from a lack of attacking output, as they have consistently found the scoresheet in those tough away fixtures. The real root problem is that their defensive line concedes goals at a far higher rate than their attack can produce them in hostile away stadiums. When a team needs to net at least two goals just to earn a positive result on the road, but their attack cannot reliably hit that two-goal threshold away from home, the final scoreline will almost always tilt in the home side’s favor.
