Current form: Dortmund vs Tottenham
Dortmund come into this game having lost 2-1 to Augsburg at the weekend, which now sees their once comfortable margin at the top of the Bundesliga table cut to zero. Bayern now have pulled level with die Schwarzgelben in the race for the league title, which will put even more pressure on Lucien Favre's side heading into this upcoming clash with Tottenham at Signal Iduna Park.
With that loss, Dortmund have won just one of their last five games across all competitions and barring a shocking collapse from Spurs, are looking set to be making a swift exit from the Champions League. It is a rather disappointing turn of events for die Schwarzgelben supporters, especially as the team finished top of their quartet and had a very strong group stage campaign. They will be fighting against the odds, though - as Dortmund have never overturned a three-goal deficit in European competition in the club's history.
Meanwhile Tottenham's stunning 3-0 win over Dortmund marked the first time Spurs had picked up a home win in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. The London-based side are only in the round of 16 for the third time in their history, and will be aiming to seal their spot in the quarter-finals for the first time since the 2010/2011 campaign. Mauricio Pochettino's side, who sit in third place in the Premier League, rebounded from two straight defeats to Burnley and Chelsea with a one-all draw against fellow London rivals Arsenal last weekend, but are pretty much out of the title race at this point.
As such, the Champions League certainly has to be their focus, but first, they will be looking to book their place in the final eight for the second time in club history. With a 3-0 advantage, Spurs are pretty much already on their way, and so far, are unbeaten on the road in round of 16 ties. Will they get the job done in Germany without much fuss?
How they got here: Dortmund vs Tottenham
Tottenham narrowly qualified for the round of 16 after finishing second in their group behind tournament favorites Barcelona and pipped Inter to second on goal difference. Arguably, it was one of the toughest quartets of this seasons' group stages, with three teams all realistically given a good chance of qualifying for the round of 16, and it indeed ended up being a close battle between Spurs and the Nerazzurri for second place.
As for Dortmund, they started off their group stage campaign on a very strong footing, and despite losing one game, still finished top of their quartet ahead of Atletico Madrid on goal difference. However, their Champions League dreams now appear to be in tatters following their heavy 3-0 loss to Spurs at Wembley.
