Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund join forces at Wembley Stadium in a UEFA Champions League (Round of 16) match. The record of direct confrontations of the last 3 years between the two teams could not be more balanced, since there were 2 victories for each team of the last 4 times that they met.

We must point out that the English won only 2 of the 6 games played in the group stage of the Champions League. In this first game against Borussia Dortmund, coach Mauricio Pochettino should keep the team in 4-3-3 favoring the defensive organization and counterattacks from the sides: Son is a very fast and strong player in the 1x1. On the other hand, Harry Kane is the top scorer of the Tottenham team with 20 goals, but is embezzled by injury. In addition to this athlete, the coach can not count on Janssen and Dier, also with physical problems.

The Borussia Dortmund team has great competence in the offensive sector, however, several failures in the most backward sector. It is inevitable to highlight the '' marathon runner '' Raphael Guerreiro, who is responsible for making much of the left side. On the other hand, the German Marco Reus is the great highlight of this team with 17 goals scored, however, is low by injury. Except for this player, there are no more embezzles for this game.
