Dortmund&rsquo;s European journey began in thrilling fashion with a chaotic 4-4 draw at Juventus, while Athletic were left frustrated in a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal on their return to the competition.<\/p><p>Dortmund&rsquo;s clash with Juventus was a classic, with BVB looking certain for victory after taking a 4-2 lead into stoppage time. However, late lapses saw the Italians snatch two goals and a share of the spoils. Still, Niko Kovac&rsquo;s men remain unbeaten in all competitions this season and head into this fixture buoyed by a 2-0 Bundesliga win over Mainz at the weekend. Their strong start sees them secure second spot in the league, just two points behind Bayern Munich.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Salut! &#128075;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BVBATH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#BVBATH<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/q8vPBJfQQ2\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/q8vPBJfQQ2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Borussia Dortmund (@BVB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BVB\/status\/1972979822617055511?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Borussia Dortmund vs Athletic Bilbao Best Bets<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bets<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full Time Result<\/td><td>Borussia Dortmund: -118, Athletic Bilbao: +300<\/td><td>Draw: +275<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draw No Bet<\/td><td>Borussia Dortmund: -625<\/td><td>Athletic Bilbao: +360<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Goals<\/td><td>Over 2.5: -125<\/td><td>Under 2.5: -110<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Borussia Dortmund to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +260<\/td><td>No: +210<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Athletic Bilbao to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +575<\/td><td>No: +550<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>(Odds via&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Borussia Dortmund vs Athletic Bilbao Preview<\/h2><p>Athletic Bilbao travel to Germany on the back of a difficult run of form. Ernesto Valverde&rsquo;s side began the season brightly with three consecutive La Liga wins, but September has been far less kind. Defeats to Alaves, Arsenal, Valencia and Villarreal have derailed their early momentum, with just one draw against Girona to show for their last five outings. That downturn has left them in mid-table in Spain and struggling for consistency.<\/p><p>This campaign marks Athletic&rsquo;s first Champions League appearance since 2014-15. Notably, their last season&rsquo;s Europa League run ended in the semi-finals at the hands of Manchester United. The Basques will view this trip as an opportunity to reset. However, their lack of form on the road could be a concern heading into such a demanding fixture.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/atletico-madrid-vs-real-madrid-three-key-takeaways-from-5-2-derby-shock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid: Three Key Takeaways from 5-2 Derby Shock<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Borussia Dortmund vs Athletic Bilbao Over\/Under Predictions<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Under 2.5 Goals @ -110 as per BetMGM<\/a><\/strong><\/h3><p>Recent form points to a tight game. Dortmund have registered back-to-back league clean sheets (1-0 vs Wolfsburg, 2-0 at Mainz) and three shutouts in their last four domestic games. Athletic Bilbao arrive blunt up front: just one goal across their last four in all comps (0-2 vs Arsenal, 0-2 at Valencia, 1-1 vs Girona, 0-1 at Villarreal). With both sides seeking a first UCL win after tough openers, a controlled, low-tempo contest feels more likely than a shootout. As a result, it makes the Under 2.5 goals a sensible play here.<\/p><p>\n\n\n            <div class=\"MvpBookmakerTable\" >\n                                                            <div
