Game Preview
The pressure continues to increase on Thomas Frank this week, as reports indicate that he will have two matches to save his position. A damaging loss was inflicted in their latest outing, as Spurs were beaten by fierce London rivals West Ham on Saturday.
Borussia Dortmund should be confident ahead of this clash after going seven without defeat. They currently sit second in the Bundesliga standings, and they have registered wins in three of their last five in the Champions League.
However, Dortmund have a below-par record in England in the Champions League, losing ten of their 14 away matches. A defeat in England has already been suffered this term, as they were beaten 4-1 at Man City.
Despite ongoing home issues in the Premier League, Spurs have been reliable at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Champions League. They have won all three of their home matches to nil, and they are unbeaten in their last 23 at home in European fixtures.
Serhou Guirassy will be a standout player for Dortmund this week. The striker has been an excellent source of goals in the Champions League, with no player having accumulated more goal involvements than the Guinean international (22).
Tottenham vs. Borussia Dortmund Picks
Borussia Dortmund look like the value play in this Champions League matchup on Tuesday. They bring better form into the clash, while Tottenham have struggled against better teams than they have faced in European home fixtures throughout the campaign.
