Borussia Dortmund welcome the visitors Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League Play-offs – 1/8 Finals. The match will be held on Tuesday, March, 5th, at the Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund).
In the 1st leg in the UK, Borussia Dortmund have failed, featuring a 3:0 thumping. After this bringdown, they could not bounce back in full and registered only a draw against the rock-bottom Nurnberg in the national league. Yet in the next round, Borussia psyched up and won the very solid lately Bayer 04 Leverkusen. In the last fixture though, the side made another slipup and lost to Augsburg.

Tottenham Hotspur have a very tough calendar – after their triumph over the Germans, they held a match against Chelsea wherein they lost, 2:0. In between the meetings with Borussia and the ‘Blues’, they also lost to Burnley, 2:0. Also, the ‘Spurs’ clashed with Arsenal – the encounter did not come up with a winner. All the fixtures took much energy from the guests, so, they are not expected to be in their best form on Tuesday.
Borussia have a mountain to climb to progress to the next stage – they need to score thrice and keep a clean sheet to end in an extra-time. There have been many cases when the same and even greater handicap was played back. The hosts will most likely look to do so, and they will manage to take revenge at least. The English outfit will be rather exhausted after their meetings with very strong opponents. The Germans are highly aggressive on their soil – of 12 Bundesliga home encounters, they suffered no defeats and celebrated 10 wins, and they won’t tolerate one more English scenario. In contrast, Borussia will press their visitors to the maximum and will probably win the 2nd leg. The sides met 5 times. 2 first head-to-heads witnessed Borussia’s wins, 3 latest ones saw Tottenham’s success. The Germans will most likely level this record tomorrow.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win home.
