Borussia Dortmund vs. Napoli: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview

Borussia Dortmund and Napoli are set for a crucial Champions League match. The Group F foes are battling alongside Arsenal for only two berths in the knockout stages, and Dortmund are currently the odd club out with two matches left to play.

Right now, BVB are three points behind both Arsenal and Napoli after a loss to the Gunners in the last set of fixtures. That said, if they are able to take care of business at home against the Italian club, last season's finalists will control their own destiny heading into the group finale.

Napoli will be seeking at least a draw in order to remain on track for the next round. The Partenopei face off with an in-form Arsenal squad in the final match of the stage, so they want as much margin for error as possible heading into that match in a couple weeks.

With that in mind, let's check out all the key information for the Champions League clash, followed by a breakdown of the top storyline and a match prediction.

Top Storyline: Can Dortmund Secure a Much-Needed Victory?

This match doesn't come at an ideal time for Dortmund. They lost two straight matches before the international break and returned with a 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich, which also ended BVB's run in the Champions League final last season.

The biggest problem for Dortmund during the losing skid has been a lack of attacking ferocity. They had an opportunity to take control of the match against Bayern in the first half but failed. The reigning treble winners took full advantage, scoring three times in the final 30 minutes to earn the win.

Robert Lewandowski is scoreless during the lull, which doesn't come as a surprise. The attack tends to go as he goes, but the struggles aren't completely his fault. The midfield is having a tough time gaining possession and creating chances for him.

So against Napoli, the onus is on those players in the middle of the pitch to elevate their level of play. Whether it's Jakub Blaszczykowski, Marco Reus or another midfielder, somebody on the Dortmund side must rise to the occasion and help the attack get back on track.

As for the Partenopei, they must use BVB's offensive woes against them. On the road, they should come out with a singular focus on defending and counterattacks. If they can play a strong defensive game early, Dortmund are likely to get frustrated and start making mistakes.

The efficiency of the Dortmund attack will decide the match.

Prediction

Ultimately, the match is likely to become a struggle. Napoli aren't going to take any unnecessary risks since they are on the road and hold the edge in the group. On the opposite side, Dortmund have been out of form lately and haven't been playing like last season's UCL runners-up.

In the end, the desperation on the BVB side could very well be the difference. They know their chances of making another deep run are starting to fade and will take a major hit if they don't beat Napoli. So expect an inspired performance that leads to a narrow victory.
