Tottenham have been in good form recently, winning all 3 of their most recent matches in the Premier League. However, the absence of key striker Harry Kane has caused their recent victories to be quite difficult. Fortunately for Tottenham, striker Son Heung Min is in very good form after returning from the Asian Cup. He has continuously scored in the past 2 months. Christian Eriksen also scored 1 goal and had 1 assist in the win over Leicester.
Another big support for Tottenham is that they play at Wembley. Remember, in the last 20 home matches in all competitions, Spurs have won 15 and suffered only 5 defeats. In the last two Champions League games at Wembley, Tottenham have won all of their matches against Inter and PSV.
On the other side of the front line, Dortmund also did not have star Marco Reus in this match. The Dortmund captain is also having injury problems. Reus is the soul of the German team. This season, Reus has scored 17 goals and had 11 assists/27 matches in all competitions for Dortmund.
Dortmund's form is also quite poor, having not won in the last 3 matches. Last weekend, they were held to a 3-3 draw by Hoffenheim at home despite leading... 3-0. Before that, Dortmund also eliminated Bremen in the QG Cup.
The head-to-head record between the two teams is also quite balanced as the "Roosters" have 3 wins in the last 5 meetings.
With the Wembley advantage, Tottenham will be determined to win tonight's match. If they win, they will also erase the previous unmatched streak at home in the Champions League qualifying round. But for all football fans, this match will be a must-see enjoy party.
