Borussia Dortmund vs Lazio UEFA Champions League Match Preview or Key Statistics 📲
The home side has won all three previous meetings between Borussia Dortmund and Lazio in major European competition, with Dortmund winning their only such match 2-0 in the 1994-95 UEFA Cup quarter-final.
Lazio have only won one of their seven previous away games against German sides in European competition (including qualifiers), a 2-0 win at VfB Stuttgart in the UEFA Europa League in March 2013 (D2 L4).
Borussia Dortmund need to avoid defeat to progress to the UEFA Champions League round of 16 this season – they’ve only failed to make it out of the group stages in one of their last seven appearances in the competition (2017-18).
Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in their last eight UEFA Champions League group stage home games (W6 D2), keeping six clean sheets in the process since a 1-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur in November 2017.
Borussia Dortmund have won their last five UEFA Champions League home games, last having a longer winning run at home in the competition between September 2012-October 2013 (7).
Lazio are unbeaten in their four UEFA Champions League games this season (W2 D2), their longest unbeaten run in the competition since their first eight games between September-December 1999 (W5 D3).
Lazio have won just one of their last 14 away games in the UEFA Champions League (D4 L9), and are winless in their last seven on the road (D3 L4) since beating Besiktas 0-2 in September 2003.
Lazio striker Ciro Immobile has scored in all three of his UEFA Champions League appearances at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, doing so as a Borussia Dortmund player in the 2014-15 campaign.
