AI match recap
Sabah welcome Dortmund with genuine momentum and the confidence of a major home Champions League result already behind them. Dortmund have the deeper squad and more individual match-winners, but they reach Baku after an exhausting sequence of travel and without Karetsas. The central battle will determine whether Dortmund can sustain pressure or whether Sabah can turn recoveries into quick wide attacks. Expect the visitors to command possession, with the hosts seeking to make every transition and dead-ball situation count.
Injuries and absences
Karetsas’ confirmed foot-ligament absence removes a creative midfield option from Dortmund’s matchday choices. With Can, Konstantelias and Lerma also missing, Kovac has less scope to refresh the midfield during a travel-heavy week.
