Borussia Dortmund vs Villarreal Tips & Predictions – Guirassy to Score in the Champions League
Tuesday’s football clash promises goals, as both teams are prolific scorers but concede often. The best bet is on both sides scoring and the total goals exceeding 2.5, given their tendencies to find the net and struggle defensively. Additionally, Serhou Guirassy is a strong contender to score anytime, having previously netted twice against Villarreal in the UCL and scoring in his last two matches. These tips maximize value for bettors seeking action-packed football and likely goal scorers.

This Will be Their Fourth Head to Head Meeting
The score is tied when it comes to head to head, both sides winning one game each. BVB were victorious in the UCL main stage last year, taking a 4-0 win at home.
BVB Coming off an Inspiring Comeback Victory
Borussia Dortmund put up a decent fight in their season-opening clash against Bayern Munich but lost the Super Cup 2-1. Their form and results have improved since.
After taking down Hamburg 2-0 at home in the Bundesliga first round, BVB had no problems in the German Cup against a lower-division side HEBC Hamburg, taking a 5-0 win.
Niko Kovac's side showed character last weekend in Sinsheim, recovering from a two-goal deficit to beat Hoffenheim 3-2. Serhou Guirassy played the key role here with one goal and one assist.
Villarreal at Zero Clean Sheets this Season
Villarreal started the new season under new manager Inigo Perez and so far their results have been extremely disappointing, still being winless after four La Liga rounds.
Their first two appearances were 2-2 road draws against Racing Santander and Atletico Madrid, followed by an unfortunate 1-0 defeat to Alaves in Vitoria where Villarreal had higher xG, 76% possession and 6-2 shots on target.
Last weekend, the Yellow Submarine were tagged massive favorites at home against Deportivo La Coruna but suffered a shocking 3-2 loss where they were ahead twice.

Verdict
Both sides have high scoring potential while rarely keeping their nets intact. Backing both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is the best selection for this clash on Tuesday.
Another bet worth considering is Serhou Guirassy to score anytime. He netted a brace against Villarreal in the UCL main round last year, while also bagging two goals in his last two appearances.
