Borussia Dortmund (BVB) has historically performed well in the opening matches of the Champions League when playing at home. The team has four wins, two draws, and one loss in these games.
Their only defeat on opening day at their home stadium occurred on September 13, 1995, a 1–3 loss to Juventus Turin, who would eventually win the tournament. Since then, BVB has remained undefeated in their first home match of the Champions League.
Recent results include a 1-0 win against Ajax in 2012, a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in 2014, a 0-0 draw with Barcelona in 2019, and a 3-0 win against Copenhagen in 2022. Notably, BVB has not conceded a goal in any of these last four opening home games.
Conversely, Villarreal CF has never won a Champions League opening match, recording three draws and two losses. Last season, they lost 0–1 at Tottenham Hotspur.
