Tottenham are seemingly in disarray ahead of this upcoming matchday 7 encounter against the German Bundesliga 2nd place visitors, Borussia Dortmund, when the two sides meet in north London at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday night.
Tottenham head into this vital Champions League tie on the back of five games without a win which includes recent losses in the Premier League to Bournemouth and West Ham, along with having slipped to a 2-1 defeat at home to Aston Villa in the FA Cup.
The wider picture makes for grim reading for Spurs fans, and indeed under-fire manager, Thomas Frank, as the north London hosts have managed to capture just one win from their last eight matches in all competitions whilst being dealt five defeats in the process.
However, form on the European front has seen Thomas Frank’s side lose just once in six Champions League ties to date.
Borussia Dortmund currently 2nd in the Bundesliga table behind usual suspects Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table and the visitors have produced some encouraging results overall in recent weeks, bringing a seven-game unbeaten sequence to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Four wins along with three draws include a 2-2 draw at home with Bodo/Glimt in their previous Champions League tie along with displaying far greater consistency than their upcoming hosts.
Similar to Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund have also lost just once in six Champions League ties so far and they look to be a tough nut to crack under coach Niko Kovač.
The Betting Verdict
Tottenham have won the last four meetings on the trot against Dortmund but the visitors will be keen to exploit any weaknesses in the Spurs back line here.
The Pick :
Tottenham 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
