Borussia Dortmund prepares to host Villarreal in a Champions League match, looking to extend a strong record of home performance in the competition. BVB has lost only one of its home matches in the tournament since 2022, when standing room was reintroduced to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. The Bundesliga side holds a favorable home record against Spanish opponents and previously recorded a 4-0 victory against Villarreal in November 2025. Conversely, Villarreal enters the fixture struggling on the road, currently carrying a five-game losing streak in away European matches. The Spanish club has never secured a win on the first matchday of the Champions League. Dortmund has historically maintained an undefeated streak in opening Champions League games at home since 1995.
