"Just one place separates Dortmund and Spurs in the table, with both sides level on 11 points, though Kovac's side sit above them in 10th place, having scored more goals. A win on Tuesday could potentially launch one of the teams into the top eight, given the congested nature of the table, though Dortmund drew 2-2 with Bodo/Glimt last time out in the competition."
"This will be the fifth Champions League meeting between the sides, with Spurs winning each of the previous four, across the 2017-18 and 2018-19 campaigns. And Dortmund have lost 10 of their 14 away Champions League matches in England (W3 D1), including losing on seven of their most recent eight visits (W1). Kovac also confirmed BVB are still without Marcel Sabitzer due to a calf injury, though they do have Ramy Bensebaini and Aaron Anselmino back in their squad."
Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham sit level on 11 points, separated by one place with Dortmund 10th on goal difference. A win could lift the victor into the Champions League top eight given the tight standings. Dortmund drew 2-2 with Bodo/Glimt in their last group match, so automatic progression remains possible even after a defeat. Tottenham have won their first three home group games without conceding, making the fixture especially challenging. Historical head-to-head results favour Spurs, and Dortmund's recent away record in England is poor. Marcel Sabitzer is out with a calf injury; Ramy Bensebaini and Aaron Anselmino are available.
