At least national striker Niclas Füllkrug is back in the line-up: Borussia Dortmund is hoping for its first three points in the Champions League after its opening defeat against Paris Saint-Germain – against AC Milan at home.

On the second matchday of the Champions League, there is already high tension in Borussia Dortmund’s Group F.

Newcastle United will host Paris Saint-Germain, which is the league leader after its commanding opening victory over BVB, but is only ranked fifth in the domestic Ligue 1.

Newcastle, the hosts, are also lagging somewhat behind the expectations of their Saudi owners in eighth place in the Premier League, but have not conceded a single goal in five consecutive games.

BVB – AC Milan: On equal terms

Last-place Dortmund is already under pressure to succeed against AC Milan. The balance of the seven duels so far is even with three wins each and one draw.

In Group E, Atletico Madrid host Feyenoord Rotterdam, while Celtic Glasgow face Lazio Rome.

In Group G, there is a summit meeting between title defender Manchester City and Leipzig, who also have not lost a game. The highlight in Group H is the duel between the two favored teams, FC Barcelona and FC Porto.
