Team news
Legia Warsaw
Legia Warsaw might be in this competition thanks to winning the Ekstraklasa last season, but things have not gone well as of late for the hosts. They have picked up a dismal nine points from their first eight matches, whilst winning just two of those games, and more discouraging, they have failed to win at home at all this term. To add a further blow to their already flagging confidence, Legia Warsaw will have to make do without key defender Adam Hlousek due to a ban and will be coming into this game having lost 2-1 to Nieciecza in their last fixture before this game.
Borussia Dortmund
As for Borussia Dortmund, die Schwarzgelben will be still smarting following a surprise 1-0 defeat to none other than RB Leipzig, who are featuring in the top-flight for the first time ever. For a club as traditional as Dortmund, losing to a team many of their supporters view with disdain will not sit too well, and the team's strong fan-base will be demanding a reaction from their players when they take on Legia Warsaw later today.
Thomas Tuchel will be still without the services of Marco Reus, whose injury woes appear to have no end in sight. Additional absentees include Neven Subotic and Erik Durm, but other from that, the visitors will have all their main players available, which will be vital as Legia Warsaw will be expected to hunker down and defend for as long as possible. Although they've struggled offensively, Dortmund's Polish opponents have been decent defensively, with just nine goals conceded in their first eight games.
Nonetheless, with the kind of attacking prowess at their disposal, die Schwarzgelben are expected to pick up maximum points - something they will want in their bank especially considering they have Real Madrid for company on matchday two.
