"Borussia Dortmund arrive in London knowing that Champions League progression may represent their best chance of silverware this season, having already fallen well behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title race and exited the DFB-Pokal. BVB were held to a 2-2 draw by Bodo/Glimt on matchday six after surrendering two leads, and defensive issues on the road have been a concern throughout the league phase, with Dortmund conceding heavily in away fixtures."
"Their most recent European outing saw Spurs dispatch Slavia Prague 3-0 on home soil, a result that kept them within one point of the top eight and extended their perfect defensive record in Champions League home fixtures this season. However, confidence was quickly undermined at the weekend, as Tottenham were beaten 2-1 by West Ham in the Premier League, a result that represented their third consecutive defeat in all competitions and further intensified scrutiny on Frank's position."
Tottenham host Borussia Dortmund in matchday seven of the Champions League, with both clubs level on points but Dortmund ahead on goals scored. Tottenham have three wins from six league-phase matches and a perfect defensive record in Champions League home fixtures after beating Slavia Prague 3-0. Spurs then lost 2-1 to West Ham, marking their third consecutive defeat in all competitions and increasing pressure on Frank. Borussia Dortmund see progression as their best chance of silverware after falling behind Bayern and exiting the DFB-Pokal, and they have shown defensive vulnerabilities away from home. Tottenham face multiple absences through suspension and injury.
