Borussia Dortmund vs Sturm Graz Prediction: the Bumblebees Will Win Without Scoring A Lot

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match between Borussia Dortmund vs Sturm Graz, which will take place on November 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

 After the October international break, the Bumblebees played five matches. They lost to Wolfsburg in the German Cup, beat St. Pauli and Leipzig, and failed to Augsburg in the Bundesliga. Real Madrid thrashed them in the Champions League. In the Champions League group stage standings, Borussia sits in 11th place with 6 points. The hosts are just one point behind Sporting, who are in the zone of direct access to the quarterfinals.

After the October international break, the Austrians played five matches in the Bundesliga. They beat Grazer, LASK, and Rapid and also won the Austrian Cup against Linz. However, they lost 0:2 at home to Sporting from Portugal in the Champions League. Sturm is currently placed 32nd in the Champions League standings with no points. The visitors are three points behind Girona in the play-off zone.

We expect Borussia to win comfortably, but we're not sure the match will be particularly effective. The Germans need to keep up their reputation as the favorite, earn three points, and stay fresh for the next Bundesliga match. It's also crucial for Sturm to save face, which is what the Austrians did in the previous three matches in the Champions League. Recall that every single one of Sturm's 2024/25 Champions League matches never ended with the total over 2.5.
