Borussia Dortmund 1/18 to beat Apoel Nicosia in Wednesday’s Champions League battle

Competition: Champions League

Market: Borussia Dortmund to beat Apoel Nicosia

Odds: 1/18 @ 888sport

The Champions League returns for its fourth game-week and the competition is simmering away nicely. With just nine points left to win, any team in any of the groups can still make it to the knock-out rounds, but they must gain victory in their next game if they are to do so. With this in mind, Borussia Dortmund host Apoel Nicosia on Wednesday evening.

Borussia Dortmund have been uncharacteristically poor in Europe this season. Two defeats to Tottenham and Real Madrid, along with a draw against their next opponents in their last game means they have just a single point, and they are six shy of Spurs and Real at the top. A victory is paramount if the German outfit is to have any chance of progressing to the next round, and there is the extra incentive that one, if not both of the top two sides will drop points as they play each other on Wednesday

Apoel Nicosia have struggled in Europe this campaign. Just one point from their three games sees them sit at the bottom of the group, however, they are level on points with Dortmund, whom they secured a very impressive draw against in their last game. Of course, Apoel would not have had particularly high hopes in the Champions League considering the calibre of opponents in their group, but they will hope that a stalemate in their last game with the Germans can be replicated on Wednesday. With Dortmund in desperate need of a win, 888sport have given the Germans odds of 1/18 to beat Apoel.
