Niko Kovac Demands Dortmund Win Against Sabah

Niko Kovac has made it clear that Borussia Dortmund are aiming for the victory against Sabah FK in the Champions League on Tuesday. Dortmund will travel to Baku and will be looking to recover from a 1-0 defeat to Bodø/Glimt and a goalless draw against Union Berlin, failing to score in their last two matches.

The German side won their opening European fixture versus Villarreal but now they need a strong response to keep their campaign on track. Kovac believes his team must move the ball faster, show better accuracy in the final third and take more shots to turn their chances into goals.

Despite insisting that Dortmund are favourites, Kovac warned his players not to underestimate Sabah. The Azerbaijani champions beat Slavia Prague 2-0 in their previous Champions League match and followed that result with a convincing 4-0 domestic victory. Dortmund will therefore need to be at their best to avoid another setback.
