Borussia Dortmund head coach Peter Bosz is aware his side must beat APOEL to keep their Champions League hopes alive on Tuesday.
Bundesliga leaders Dortmund are away to APOEL in Nicosia, having lost their opening two Group H fixtures.
Dortmund are already six points adrift of two-time defending champions Real Madrid and Tottenham, while APOEL are in the same position.
"We've lost two times and we're here to win," Bosz told reporters. "But APOEL need a victory too."
Beaten by RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last week, Dortmund have been boosted by the inclusion of captain Marcel Schmelzer.
