TottenhamMatch Preview
Premier Leaguer side Tottenham Hotspur travel to take on German giants Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion next week, with the English side having already secured their place in the next stage of the Champions League thanks to their unbeaten record so far this season. With the home side realistically now playing for third spot in the table, and Europa League football in the process, manager Peter Bosz and his players will be hoping to give their fans something to cheer about at the end of what has been a disappointing campaign. With Spurs still set to name a strong starting eleven in Germany, there are plenty of attractive betting markets surrounding the fixture. For those still unsure of who to back, let’s take a closer look at the two teams, as well as providing our top betting tip.
Borussia Dortmund Team News & Form
Dortmund suffered a home defeat to fierce rivals Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga before the international break, meaning that they also lost their spot at the top of the table in the process. The German side have failed to win a single Champions League encounter this season, with just two draws against minnows APOEL Nicosia to their name. The likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mario Gotze and Christain Pulisic are set to line up for the home side, while English youngster Jadon Sancho could also feature having made his debut for the club over recent weeks.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News & Form
Tottenham’s 3-1 win over reigning Champions League winners Real Madrid has put them in pole position to win Group H, with Mauricio Pochettino’s men having dropped just two points in the competition so far this season. However, with a North London derby against Arsenal perhaps taking priority for the Premier League side, the Argentine boss is sweating on the fitness of players including Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Harry Winks, with the trio having withdrawn from England duty during the recent international break. Spurs have scored ten and conceded just three goals from their European encounters so far this season.
Head to Head
The two teams have met three times in the past, with Dortmund having claimed two victories from such matches. However, Spurs defeated the German side 3-1 at Wembley back in September, demonstrating their form over recent times.
Betting Odds and Predictions
Despite having not won in the Champions League so far this season, it is Dortmund who are the favourites for victory in Germany next week. The Bundesliga side can be backed at odds of 1/1 with Bet265, while the same bookmaker has Spurs at 5/2.
Top Betting Tip
However, our top betting tip for the match is to bet on both teams scoring during the 90 minutes in Germany, which is available at odds of 8/15 with Ladbrokes.
