Borussia Dortmund will be competing with Atlético Madrid for top spot on the final matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stages. BVB are already guaranteed second place and a berth in the knockout stages but will need to win at Monaco and hope the Spaniards lose in Bruges if they are to win the group outright.

Facts on AS Monaco

  • AS Monaco will finish bottom of Group A regardless of the outcome of the match against Borussia Dortmund.
  • The Monegasques have not won in their last 13 European games, drawing three and losing 10 since their last victory − a 3-1 win over BVB in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg in April 2017.
  • Monaco have fielded 28 different players during the first five matchdays − more than any other club in the UEFA Champions League.
  • Monaco were beaten 4-1 at home by RB Leipzig in the group stages of the competition last season. Their home record against German teams is positive, however, with five wins, three draws and two defeats.

Facts on Borussia Dortmund

  • BVB kicked off their campaign with a 1-0 win in Bruges before thrashing Monaco 3-0 and Atlético 4-0. The Black & Yellows subsequently suffered a 2-0 defeat in Spain but booked their place in the knockout stages with a goalless draw against Bruges last time out.
  • The last time BVB failed to score in two consecutive games in Europe was in November and December 2015; the last time they failed to find the net in three consecutive outings at continental level was between 1967 and 1983.
  • Abdou Diallo played for Monaco between 2014 and 2017, making 10 appearances for the club in Ligue 1.
  • Two other BVB players will be re-united with former team-mates: Marwin Hitz played alongside Diego Benaglio at Wolfsburg (2008-2013) and Ömer Toprak used to be at Leverkusen with Benjamin Henrichs (2015-17).
