Borussia Dortmund have made a strong start to the Bundesliga season, collecting 13 points from their first five matches. Despite a recent 2–2 draw against Werder Bremen and a midweek Champions League defeat to Bodø/Glimt, Dortmund have shown greater quality and consistency than their upcoming opponents.
Union Berlin have struggled defensively, conceding 17 goals in their first five league games. Although they secured a 1–0 victory over Elversberg last time out, Dortmund’s attacking strength and superior squad depth should make the difference. Dortmund also won their latest visit to Union 3–0, strengthening the case for an away victory.

Villarreal head into this La Liga fixture with renewed confidence after securing a convincing 3–1 victory over Napoli in the Champions League. They have won three of their last five matches across all competitions and have shown their attacking quality by scoring three goals in victories over both Napoli and Levante.
Elche have struggled defensively this season, conceding 17 goals in their first eight league matches. Villarreal have also won their last two head-to-head meetings, including a 2–1 victory earlier this year. With home advantage, stronger attacking options and positive recent results, Villarreal are the preferred selection.
