Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea Prediction & Preview
And Marco Reus is still around, too! Leading it all is up-and-coming head coach Edin Terzić, whose name we might be hearing for many years to come. The 40-year-old, who was once the assistant to the permanently underrated Slaven Bilić at West Ham, is building quite a reputation for himself. Incidentally, Terzić and Graham Potter graduated from the same UEFA Pro Licence course in 2018 (the highest qualification in the game).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Chelsea, Champions League: Preview, team news, how to watchIt may be awhile before Chelsea qualify for the Champions League by finishing in the top-four of the Premier League, so I guess we’re just going to have to go on and win it instead. Written in the stars, a la 2012! That journey begins here, at Borussia Dortmund’s iconic Westfalenstadion and The Yellow Wall. It’s going to be absolutely electric, and of course to truly mirror the 2011-12 season, we would have to go on to lose this first leg very badly, 3-1, and then win the second leg in extra time. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Also, let’s not lose this first leg. Date / Time: Wednesday, February 15, 2023, 20.
View from the enemy: Fear The Wall Photo by INA FASSBENDER/AFP via Getty Images Chelsea team news: Raheem Sterling has not recovered from his knee knock and has thus stayed back in London alongside injured quartet N’Golo Kanté, Christian Pulisic, Édouard Mendy, and Armando Broja, as well as the ineligible quartet of Benoît Badiashile, Noni Madueke, David Datro Fofana, and former Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
That Chelsea were still able to bring 23 players along (including Lewis Hall and third goalkeeper Lucas Bergström) speaks to the depth of the squad — especially now that Mateo Kovačić, Denis Zakaria, and Wesley Fofana are all back in contention as well. Unlike for the hosts, 2023 has not been overly great to us thus far (at least on the pitch) — though results of late have favored draws rather than defeats, so we’ve got that going for us. Off the pitch, 2023 has been nothing short of amazing, with a record-breaking January raising pulses and expectations. It’s gonna ah-may-zing when we find the secret sauce to make it all work.
Dortmund currently sit third in the Bundesliga, just three points behind league leaders Bayern Munich in the standings. Jude Bellingham leads the way in the scoring charts, having netted ten goals in all competitions so far this season.

Former Chelsea transfer target Niklas Süle anchors a decent defense, while future Chelsea transfer target Jude Bellingham is of course the big starboy in midfield — though Julian Brandt and Gio Reyna are no slouches either. Up front, occasional Chelsea transfer target Youssoufa Moukoko is a big loss through injury, though Sébastian Haller recently returned to action after beating cancer (! ) so compared to that, even beating Thiago Silva might be child’s play. Young forward Karim Adeyemi has not quite lived up to his next-Haaland billing, but former Manchester City youngster Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has two goals in his last five (substitute) appearances.
Liga Campionilor: Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea
After an indifferent first half to the league campaign before the World Cup (8 wins, 6 losses from 15), they’ve now closed the gap to Bayern Munich to just three points, and alongside surprise package Union Berlin, are expected to duke it out for the title going forward. That indifference had extended to their European campaign as well, as they just barely made it out of the group: 9 points was the lowest of any qualifier for the knockout round. However, they picked up 7 of those points at home, where they are now unbeaten since late August (7 wins, 3 draws in all competitions — the draws coming against Bayern, Manchester City, and Sevilla).
Having only lost one of their last twelve outings at home in all competitions, it is no surprise that Dortmund are the favourites. Handing Edin Terzic's side a 43 per cent chance of success, Dortmund top the polling overall with Chelsea only given a 31 per cent chance of victory on Wednesday evening. A draw between the two teams is currently given a 26 per cent of happening. The site has been predicting the outcomes of major football leagues since 2017 using their specialist methodology and predicts that Bayern Munich currently has the best chance of winning the tournament (23 per cent). Manchester City are close behind with a 21 per cent chance overall. In a boost to Chelsea ahead of the trip to Dortmund, Kalidou Koulibaly was pictured in training this week having missed the draw at West Ham.
Jude Bellingham leads the way in the scoring charts, having netted ten goals in all competitions so far this season.

Borussia Dortmund vs Chelsea prediction for Champions League tieTurning their focus quickly after Saturday's 1-1 draw with West Ham, Chelsea return to action against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Graham Potter's side will be hoping for a positive result in Germany ahead of the second leg of the round of 16 tie taking place at Stamford Bridge in three weeks' time.
