Thanks to a combination of injuries, being a huge target, and just not playing that well, Borussia Dortmund have gotten off to a fairly average start to the season. They had a couple of early slip-ups in the Bundesliga, and they’ve only taken one point from their first two matches in the Champions League, requiring a stunning equalizer to draw Arsenal before getting taken to the woodshed by Marseille. On Wednesday, they need a result away to Olympiacos.

The Athens-based side have no points thus far, and they’ll be hard pressed to avoid keeping it that way. Der BVB appear to have re-gained their from, pulling off an impressive win last Friday over Werder Bremen. However, they will still be without star striker Lucas Barrios, who picked up another injury in training this week. The good news is that it appears minor, and Barrios should be back shortly. In this game, Olympicos will be facing Robert Lewandowski up top.
