It is time for a pressured Borussia Dortmund to take a leap against the Cypriot masters APOEL Nicosia after failing to get 3 points at the latest. Both Aubameyang and Kagawa hit the target and Pulisic missed a great chance, but it was home team Apoel who took the lead with his second shot at goal. Sokratis acknowledged shortly after, but it also became the last final goal that ended with a split pot.
This makes Dortmund in a really brave position with only 1 point in the first 3 rounds. You know that you will probably need to win and also win the right big tonight to have a chance to move on. Peter Bosz has not really succeeded in his new team, and his Dutch attacking philosophy does not work Bundesliga either. This seemed to be when Dortmund lost to the newcomers Hannover with the whole 4-2. The fact is that you have not won 3 straight league matches. Someone who has not been able to attend during the last two matches is Ömer Toprak, who is now strengthening the team and most likely forms a backbone with Papastathopoulos. Durm, Reus, Piszczek and Rode miss the match for the home team.
Apoel goes really hard in the league this year. One won relatively clear last year, but now stands at a weak eighth place in a dock-holding table. The team has two wins on its 9 last matches all categories and now has a lot of damage before the meeting against Dortmund. Team presidential guard Boy Waterman has been injured lately, the defenders Lago and Vauros are big question marks, while Carlao and Bertoglio’s forward defender clearly miss the match.
I am very aware that the corners ended 11-2 to Dortmund last match. However, it was because they never managed to take the lead, but constantly had to push forward for a management goal. With so many defensive breaks in the away team that is also clearly worse on the way off, it should be a rather easier win tonight. I think the need for corners is noticeably less tonight, although Dortmund certainly wants to win big. For these teams, there is really no cornerstone.

Dortmund
The team scores on its 20 most recent matches only 8.72 corners / match total (of which 5.72 own corners per match).
With the exception of these teams’ last meeting, Dortmund solves this game in 32 of its 34 latest matches!
APOEL
The team scores on its 20 most recent matches only 9.35 own corners in total (of which 3.76 own corners per match).
With the exception of these teams’ last meeting, Apoel (also) solves this game in 32 of its 34 latest matches.
I personally think the corner match ends 8-2 to Dortmund. 2.5 units invested in the corner game!
