Tottenham aim for Champions League progress vs Borussia Dortmund | OneFootball

They will face off from 5 PM in a decisive clash in the fight to enter the knockout stage.

The UEFA Champions League returns this Tuesday with one of the most attractive matches of matchday 7 of the new league phase. In London, Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund will face off from 5 PM in a decisive clash in the fight to enter the knockout stage.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be the stage for a match that promises intensity, speed, and tactical tension. Both teams arrive with the need to add points to consolidate their place in the general standings and take a firm step towards the round of 16, in what appears to be a true test of character for their European aspirations.

The English team, led by Thomas Frank, will try to be strong at home to put behind the doubts that linger on the local front. Although in the Champions League they come from a solid 3-0 victory against Slavia Prague, in the Premier League their performance is irregular: they lost 2-1 to West Ham and were eliminated from the FA Cup by Aston Villa. With important names like Micky van de Ven, the Spurs will seek to reconcile with their fans and demonstrate that their offensive approach can compete at the continental level.

On the other side, Borussia Dortmund arrives with a more stable present. The team of Niko Kovac is going through a good moment in the Bundesliga, where they defeated 3-2 St. Pauli and thrashed 3-0 Werder Bremen. In the Champions League, they drew 2-2 against Bodø/Glimt, but they maintain outstanding offensive numbers, with an average of more than three goals per match and a pass accuracy of 87%. Their point to improve remains defensive solidity, an aspect that can be key in a match of this caliber.

With young squads and high ambitions, Tottenham and Dortmund are playing for much more than three points. A victory can position them in the upper zone and avoid the wear of the playoffs, in a night that promises to be full of European football.
