Goals flowing at both ends for Dortmund

Besiktas put their perfect defensive record on the line on Wednesday against a Borussia Dortmund side that could prove to be the Champions League's most entertaining side this season.

The Turkish title holders have yet to concede in the first four games of the season (W3 D1), as they look to defend their Super Lig crown. At the weekend they beat Yeni Malatyaspor 3-0, with on-loan striker Michy Batshuayi scoring his first two goals of the season.

It seems doubtful that Besiktas will be able to keep things as tight when they host Borussia Dortmund. The Germans have played five games this season, with four coming in the Bundesliga (W3 D0 L1), as well as their Super Cup defeat to Bayern Munich. In those games they've scored 14 goals and conceded 12.

Dortmund have conceded at least two goals in every outing this season and at the weekend ran out as 4-3 winners at Bayer Leverkusen. It's fair to say that the new manager Marco Rose has yet to establish any defensive solidity with his new team and though their goal-laden games are undoubtedly entertaining, it doesn't look like a recipe for success.

Only one certainty for visitors

Borussia Dortmund are the favourites at 1.618/13, with the draw at 4.57/2 and Besiktas at 5.79/2.

That price looks a little short for Dortmund while they are in unreliable form, but their tendency to concede would seem to provide some certainties. Both teams to score is 1.748/11, while both teams to score and a Dortmund win is 2.915/8.

Erling Haaland scored a brace at the weekend and already has eight goals in six games. He was the top scorer in the Champions League last season and you can back him to score two or more goals at 3.814/5.
