Market: Borussia Dortmund to beat Apoel Nicosia

Odds: 2/9 @ Bet365

The Champions League is back this week and with it are a glut of incredibly interesting and important games. With every side looking for a win that could kickstart their campaign or give them breathing room at the top, the third round of European fixtures is vitally important, and Borussia Dortmund know a win against Apoel Nicosia is crucial.

For Apoel Nicosia, a place in the knock-out rounds is already almost out of sight, although many would maintain they didn’t really have a chance in a group that contains Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur. No wins and six goals conceded sees them at the bottom, although they are level on points with Dortmund at this stage. Home advantage will see a raucous atmosphere, but they will have to play the game of their lives to get anything from this one.

The visitors in the shape of Borussia Dortmund come into this game on the back of two defeats. Real Madrid and Tottenham both took maximum points from their encounters with the German side, and if they are to get out of the group then they simply must beat Apoel and handsomely. They will fancy their chances with the strikeforce they have, and five or more goals would see their goal difference rocket into positive figures. With this in mind, Bet 365 are giving Dortmund odds of 2/9 to beat Apoel.
