Champions League Knockout Preview: Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund

In the midst of what has become an infamous rut, Tottenham will turn their attention back to Champions League duties when they welcome Borussia Dortmund to north London. Coming under even more scrutiny over the weekend as they slumped to a 2-1 loss at home against relegation scrappers and bitter historic rivals West Ham, the pressure on Thomas Frank’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point. Knowing that they can officially punch their European knockout stage ticket in midweek, BVB have continued to shine on either side of opening the New Year and they should be relishing a trip to the English capital here. With all eyes falling on north London on Tuesday night, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund Bet Builder Tips. Frank’s position has come untenable Suffering more last-gasp frustration on Saturday afternoon as they fell to a shock 2-1 loss at home against West Ham, Tottenham supporters have made the frustrations abundantly clear and Frank’s position in north London is becoming more untenable by the week. Despite only arriving back in June, the former Brentford boss has broken a string of unwanted records since moving across the capital and it is almost impossible to see how he clings to his position in Spurs’ dugout. With another public defeat on Tuesday night expected to be the final nail in Frank’s Tottenham coffin, the midweek hosts have remarkably won just four of their previous 15 appearances across all competitions. Watching their FA Cup adventure come to an end earlier in the month as they slumped to another 2-1 loss at home against Aston Villa, Tottenham have continued to show a string of glaring issues. Likewise, the Lilywhites have failed to win any of their last four showdowns in north London across all fronts (three defeats, one draw). Bet Builder Tip: Pedro Porro over 0.5 fouls @ 4/6 with 1xBet A frantic affair from the capital Snatching what was a thrilling 3-2 victory at home against St. Pauli over the weekend, Borussia Dortmund will certainly be relishing a trip to north London on Tuesday night. Including a routine 3-0 romp against Werder Bremen earlier in the month, Niko Kovac’s side have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 12 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to a 4-1 drumming against Manchester City on November 5th. Notching a trio of strikes in all of their three Bundesliga showdowns since opening the New Year, BVB have also gained a reputation for their action-packed outings. Marking their return from Germany’s festive break with a thrilling 3-3 stalemate away at Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund have seen their last three domestic outings produce 14 goals at both ends of the pitch. On a similar note, eight of BVB’s previous nine matchups away from Signal Iduna Park have finished with both teams getting on the scoresheet. Bet Builder Tip: Goal in both halves @ 4/6 with BetUS Keep an eye out for Brandt If Borussia Dortmund are to punch their Champions League knockout stage ticket on Tuesday night and claim a heavyweight English scalp, then their playmaking talisman could have a leading role to play here. Once again finding the net during BVB’s 3-2 win against St. Pauli over the weekend, Julian Brandt is enjoying what has become a stellar run of form. Signing off 2025 with another Bundesliga strike at home against Borussia Monchengladbach, the German international has notched five goals in as many appearances across all competitions. Likewise, bagging a Champions League brace against Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt on December 10th, Brandt will be looking to exploit a Tottenham defence who have continued to show a string of major struggles. Watching Spurs lose each of their last three straight domestic showdowns by an aggregate score of 7-4, Tottenham have also failed to record a clean sheet in north London over the past six weeks.
