Tottenham vs Dortmund Prediction & Tips
Two European rivals who know each other quite well will face each other again when Tottenham face Dortmund in the Champions League (CL). The Spurs were eliminated at the hands of the German team in the last 16 of the Europa League 2015/16, but they took revenge in the group stage of the CL last season, when they won both games.
Tottenham qualified in second place in Group B quite dramatically (G2, E2, P2) thanks to a draw in the 85th minute against Barcelona, a goal that earned them the pass to the next round.

Dortmund qualified for the fourth round of the CL for the fifth time and on the four previous occasions managed to advance to the next instance. He won Group A (G4, E1, P1) thanks to his solid defense, as he only received two goals against – the lowest amount of the tournament – and kept his goal unbeaten five times.
The visiting team is having a great season; leads the Bundesliga and also, his two victories as a visitor in the group stage of the CL, against Club Brujas and Monaco, are his only triumphs in his last 11 European away games (G2, E4, P5) .
