Borrusia Dortmund have played some sublime football this season with such a young and talented squad. They are currently sitting at the top of the Bundesliga table ahead of Bayern Munich with goal difference. However, the hosts have to out of their skin against Spurs in the second leg if they want to keep their Champions League hopes alive. The German side would be eyeing to dominate in the early stages to overcome the three-goal deficit.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspurs are having an ambivalent season under Pochettino in the Premier League. They have an awful record against the top-6 sides which was quite evident in their last two games against Chelsea (2-0) and Arsenal (1-1). The London club is in the third spot in the Premier League table behind Liverpool and Manchester City. Meanwhile, Spurs have a glorious opportunity to qualify for the quarter-finals in the Champions League with a three-goal cushion. The visitors would be hoping to maintain a strong backline against a well-equipped German attack.
