The match will be held at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany. The start is scheduled for 17h (Brasília time).After this stage new draw will be held to define the pairing of the quarterfinals. From now on there is no further guidance. There is the possibility of crossing all the teams that qualify, unlike the current stage where there was restriction in relation to the clash of teams from the same country and that had stayed in the same group in the first phase.In the first leg in London, Tottenham thrashed Dortmund 3-0. In this way, they will be able to qualify in the event of a new win, draw or defeat by up to two goals difference. If you score a goal, even a three-goal margin loss will be enough to advance the title challenge. The Germans are left to thrash four or more goals difference. If returned the marker will be extended – where the criterion of the goal scored outside the home also serves as a tiebreaker – and decision by penalties, if there is a need.
Borussia Dortmund
The last game of Borussia before the attempt of the miraculous turn was a bucket of cold water in his fans. On Friday, March 1, against Augsburg, Auringro, as a visitor, was beaten by Augsburg, who fights against relegation in the German League by 2 to 1, in a confrontation for the twenty-fourth tournament in its edition 2018 / 2019.Staying in the 54 points (16 wins, six draws and two losses) saw Bayern Munich reach the same level. All the accumulated ‘fat’, which surpassed the ten-point barrier, was burned. Borussia Dortmund are still leaders of the Bundesliga, but only for presenting better goals. They are 31 to 29 of the Bavarians.The number able to hold some hope is from his homegrown performance. The team remains undefeated in their dominions in the German Championship. Of the 12 matches he played at Signal Iduna Park, he won 10 and drew two with 40 goals and 12.The meeting on Friday also marked the return of midfielder and striker Marco Reus, a key player in the tactical system of coach Lucien Favre. A muscle injury felt in the match against Werder Bremen, where Dortmund ended up being eliminated from the German Cup, took it out of the next four games.Against Augsburg, Reus has played for 65 minutes and will most likely be among the starters to face Tottenham. The defenders Lukasz Piszczek and Marcel Schmelzer are out for injury; and midfielder Christian Pulisic.
Tottenham
The recent Tottenham phase is also not the best. On Saturday, March 2, for the twenty-ninth round of the English Championship, the Spurs completed three games without winning. At Wembley Stadium, they were drawn to a 1-1 draw with Arsenal. After two defeats – for Burnley and Chelsea – they narrowly escaped the third.In addition to having scored on a wrongly scored penalty, they counted on the Gunners’ inaccuracy in the final minutes. The Arsenal also had a maximum penalty marked in their favor and wasted the collection.The fall brought as a consequence the end of the hope of the fight for the title. With 61 points (20 wins, a draw and eight defeats), Tottenham’s battle has now been to secure a place in the G4 and ensure by guarantee his participation in the 2019/2020 edition of the Champions League via the Premier League if he does not win the current season.Even in this scenario his life was much more complicated. His advantage over Arsenal, fifth and first out of that block, has been reduced from ten to four points in the last three rounds.However, to keep the title hopes in the current version of UCL (Uefa Champions League) Tottenham carries the statistics of better performance as a visitor to the English Championship. Of the 45 points that played outside of their dominions, won 33 (11 wins and four losses) having scored 31 goals and suffered 17.Three players are in the care of the medical department and are considered doubts for the meeting on Tuesday. The midfielders include Ali Ali, Eric Dier and Harry Winks.
