SSN BET - Match of the Day: Tottenham - Borussia D / 13.02.2019
The Champions League continues. Today comes the second English club Tottenham, which at Wembley will take Borussia Dortmund.
TOTTENHAM
Tottenham is not far behind the leaders of the standings, keeping them in constant tension and quite confidently feeling on the third line in the table. In the asset "spurs" after 26 rounds, there are 60 points, which is five less than that of Manchester City and Liverpool. Nevertheless, the gap from the fourth Manchester United is nine points, which allows the “spurs” to feel confident. In the Champions League, Tottenham had difficulties with getting into the playoffs - the team of Mauricio Pochettino scored eight points and was ahead of Inter only in terms of additional indicators. Before the fight with Borussia, the “spurs” confidently beat Leicester at home - a 3-1 victory obviously should cheer Tottenham, who plays without his main star.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND
Borussia went through the group stage without any problems - in the company with Atletico, Monaco and Bruges in Madrid, the Bumblebees reached the finish line first, ahead of the mattress in additional indicators. In the Bundesliga, Lucien Favre also has a full order - first place in the table and five points from Bayern. In the final round, the Bumblebees scored three goals against Hoffenheim until the 75th minute, but in the end everything ended in a 3-3 draw, the hosts believed too early in their victory. In winter, “Bumblebees” were not active in the transfer market, but Chelsea could not refuse - Christian Pulisic signed a contract with “pensioners”, but remained on loan at Borussia until the end of the season.
STATISTICS AND PERSONAL MEETINGS
- The teams met in the Champions League group stage last season - Tottenham won both matches
- Two of three home games in the current Champions League Tottenham won
- Borussia not win in the last three matches - three draws
- Only in one of the last three away matches Borussia managed to win
So let's summarize. Both teams today will play without their main stars in the attack. On the eve of the cup match Marco Reus was injured, and Harry Kane has not had time to recover. Borussia is unlikely to be revealed in the guest meeting and will pay maximum attention to defense. However, the “spurs” adapted themselves to play without their leaders, in the last three matches of the Premier League they confidently took nine points. At the moment, the teams are approximately equal in strength and play in a roughly similar manner. It is unlikely that many goals will be scored in this match, but the “bumblebees” are unlikely to leave the field without a goal.
