With just one defeat in the UCL league phase (W3, D2), Spurs sit one point off the automatic Round of 16 places. Home form has been their backbone: three UCL wins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and <strong>no league-phase goals conceded at home<\/strong> underline their defensive steel on European nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dortmund, meanwhile, is thriving. A joint-high <strong>19 league-phase goals<\/strong> places them above Spurs in the table, but their back line has leaked goals in high-scoring draws against Juventus (4-4) and Bod\u00f8\/Glimt (2-2). The Germans have scored in all seven recent UCL away games, yet won only three (D1, L3), highlighting the trade-off between firepower and fragility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head-to-Head History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spurs have historically enjoyed this matchup, recording <strong>four wins from six<\/strong> meetings with Dortmund. They also completed UCL doubles in both 2017\/18 and 2018\/19. Dortmund\u2019s struggles in England persist, with <strong>eight defeats in their last ten<\/strong> UCL away trips to English sides since 2014\/15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hot Stats and Streaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tottenham scored before half-time in <strong>6 of their last 8 UEFA<\/strong> matches.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>6 of Spurs\u2019 last 8<\/strong> UEFA home wins were by <strong>2+ goals<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All of Dortmund\u2019s last 8 European games<\/strong> saw <strong>over 3.5 goals<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dortmund scored <strong>15 of 19 league-phase goals after half-time<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a96b7d78-5ab5-4e96-aa6f-976dd9d7f700.jpeg\" alt=\"Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund \u2013 UCL Prediction, Betting Tips and Match Preview\" class=\"wp-image-7894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a96b7d78-5ab5-4e96-aa6f-976dd9d7f700.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a96b7d78-5ab5-4e96-aa6f-976dd9d7f700-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a96b7d78-5ab5-4e96-aa6f-976dd9d7f700-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a96b7d78-5ab5-4e96-aa6f-976dd9d7f700-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/tz\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a96b7d78-5ab5-4e96-aa6f-976dd9d7f700-696x464.jpeg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Players and Team News<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spurs will look to <strong>Dominic Solanke<\/strong> to strike early\u2014<strong>seven of his last ten<\/strong> club goals opened the scoring.
