"Starting with the hosts, while Borussia Dortmund might have been disappointed last month as they signed off their group stage campaign with a 2-0 loss at home against Inter Milan, the German giants have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Last seen over the weekend putting in a thumping performance as they cruised their way to an empathic 4-0 romp at home against Mainz, Niko Kovac's side will know the importance of claiming a first-leg advantage on Tuesday night."
"Borussia Dortmund Team News Dealing with a recent groin issue, Borussia Dortmund are once again expected to be without skipper Emre Can on Tuesday night. However, serving a Bundesliga ban against Mainz over the weekend, German international Nico Schlotterbeck should make a full return at the heart of Dortmund's defence. Making a second-half cameo appearance off the bench on Saturday, former Manchester United loanee Marcel Sabitzer should get some more minutes under his belt after returning from a recent muscle issue."
Borussia Dortmund have regained strong scoring form, winning three consecutive matches by an aggregate 9-3 and recording a 4-0 victory over Mainz. Dortmund began February with a 3-2 win at Heidenheim and aim to secure a first-leg advantage in the Champions League play-off. Emre Can is unavailable with a groin issue while Nico Schlotterbeck returns from a Bundesliga ban. Marcel Sabitzer is recovering from a muscle problem and could feature off the bench. Serhou Guirassy has scored five goals in his previous three domestic appearances. Atalanta ended their group stage with a 1-0 loss to Royale Union and bring strong Serie A form.
