Two of the best teams in the season meet this Wednesday in a must win game as Arsenal visit Borussia Dortmund at the Signal-Iduna-Park, in Germany, at 14:45 PM ET for the UEFA Champions League group F.

Arsenal, Dortmund and Napoli, are all tied in the first place of the zone with six points, but knowing that the Italians have the edge of playing against last place Marseille; English and Germans can’t afford to lose.

“We actually believe that it is an advantage to play at home, and if we put all our quality on the pitch, we are very hard to play against. We are also very well prepared,” Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp said.

“Even if we had won the last 70 games at home, it wouldn’t make any difference. It would be just a history, just statistics so therefore I wouldn’t say the 14 games (unbeaten) away (for Arsenal) are an advantage.”

Borussia beat Arsenal 2-1 two weeks ago in London, but this game will be different because the Germans will have to lead the way and won’t be able to play the counterattack strategy.

“We take belief from Bayern. We play everywhere to win, and that will not change of course, we will have a positive attitude in our approach to the game,” Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said. “We have played everywhere in Europe and always had the same approach and will be again like that.

The moneyline has Dortmund as the favorite to win listed at -145; Arsenal is +375 and the draw pays +255.
