After a few weeks off, the UEFA Champions League will be back on Tuesday, when there are nine games due to take place, with seven games kicking off at 15:00 EST, following two early kick offs at 12:45 EST. One of Tuesday's more interesting clashes will unfold in Germany, where Dortmund and Villarreal will lock horns.
For the hosts, it's been fairly pleasing start to the UCL League Phase, with Niko Kovač's men winning two, tying one and losing one, which has left them on seven points, just two points shy of the top eight. For Tuesday's visitors, the picture isn't as bright, with the Yellow Submarine languishing in 32nd place, thanks to taking just one point from a possible 12. When they last played on the road, the men in yellow were defeated by Cypriot minnows Pafos, and that result doesn't exactly point towards them getting the job done in Dortmund.

Our Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal Prediction
Of course, the current standings, paired with Villarreal's rather poor recent result in Cyprus, don't point towards the hosts being hurt here, but if we scratch beneath the surface, it's not too difficult to see the visitors thriving in the final third. More importantly, it's not hard to conclude that away-day goals are a little generously priced.
After all, the hosts have often been exposed on the break this season, and with no shortage of pace in the final third, the men in yellow are very good on the break. Even though they failed to score last time out in this competition, they created loads, while we also saw them create plenty on the counter against Spurs, so much so that they really should've bagged mutliple goals. This time, they may just do that.
Our Dortmund vs Villarreal Pick: Villarreal to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
