Whether against Dukla Prague, Sparta Prague - or indeed Slovan Liberec - Borussia have managed to keep a clean sheet in their last three matches away in Prague. On Wednesday night, the Black & Yellows will visit the Czech capital once more for their group stage meeting with Slavia Prague. Here are the match facts. 

The scenario

  • Both Slavia Prague and Borussia Dortmund got their Group F campaigns underway with a draw. Both teams will arguably feel they could have come away with more, which means they'll be all the more determined to pick up a vital three points when they go head-to-head on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League. 
  • Slavia turned a few heads on Matchday 1 when they managed to come away from their trip to the San Siro with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Inter Milan. The Czech club took the lead thanks to a 63rd minute goal scored by Peter Olayinka. It looked like the visitors might be able to hold on for their first ever away win in the Champions League, but Nicolò Barella popped up in the second minute of injury time to snatch a draw for Inter. In total, the Prague-based club have lost two and drawn two of the four away matches they've contested in Europe's elite club competition.
  • This will be the first time the two clubs have met. It's been over ten years since BVB last played against a Czech side. 

Slavia Prague

  • The club won its 18th Czech league title last season (its second in the last three years) and then managed to go one better by being crowned winners of the Czech Cup. This domestic double was then topped off by a second-ever qualification for the group stages of the Champions League. Slavia last qualified 12 years ago, when they finished third in their group behind Arsenal and Sevilla. Since then, they've failed to get past the qualification stages on four separate occasions. 
  • This will be the first time Slavia have faced a Bundesliga side since their 2-0 defeat against Hamburg in the group stages of the 2008/09 UEFA Cup. Slavia have lost their last three matches against German sides, failing to score a goal on each occasion. In total, they've only won one of the last nine matches they've played against German opposition: a 1-0 home win over Schalke in 1998/99.

Borussia Dortmund

  • In last year's group stages, Lucien Favre's side notched up away wins against FC Bruges (1-0) and AS Monaco (2-0). They didn't have such joy away to Atlético Madrid, where they lost 2-0. This was the only one of their six group stage matches in which the Black & Yellows failed to keep a clean sheet. 
  • The club's last two matches away to Czech sides both ended in goalless draws, most recently in 2005 against Sigma Olmütz in the third round of the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
  • BVB are unbeaten in their last five matches away to clubs from both the present-day Czech Republic and the former Czechoslovakia, with three wins and the two aforementioned 0-0 draws against Sigma Olmütz and, before that, against Slovan Liberec in the quarter-finals of the 2001/02 UEFA Cup. 
  • BVB's last defeat to a Czech side dates back to the 1963/64 season, when Dukla Prague triumphed over the Black & Yellows at the Rote Erde Stadium in a European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final replay match.
  • BVB have never conceded a goal when playing in Prague. Across the three matches the club has played in the city, the overall goal ratio reads 7:0 in favour of the Black & Yellows.
