Dortmund enters this clash with mixed but improving form, winning three of their last five matches across all competitions. Their recent 3-0 victory over Union Berlin demonstrated their attacking potency, while home wins against St. Pauli (3-2) and Werder Bremen (3-0) showcase their Signal Iduna Park strength. However, the 2-0 Champions League defeat to Tottenham highlighted defensive concerns that need addressing. Key absences include Marcel Sabitzer (calf injury) and Niklas Süle, weakening their midfield creativity and defensive stability. Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi remain crucial attacking outlets for Nuri Şahin's side.

Inter arrives in Dortmund amid their worst spell of the season, suffering three consecutive defeats that have severely dented confidence. The 3-1 home loss to Arsenal was particularly damaging, exposing defensive frailties that have become a recurring theme. Their 6-2 thrashing of Pisa masks underlying issues, as they've struggled against quality opposition. The absence of Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolò Barella removes their midfield engine, while Denzel Dumfries' injury compounds their problems. Simone Inzaghi's tactical setup has looked vulnerable away from San Siro, with the team failing to maintain their usual defensive solidity on their travels.
