Dortmund vs Tottenham LIVE: Champions League commentary stream, latest score, TV channel, lineups, prediction

Borussia Dortmund vs Tottenham LIVE
Uefa Champions League 2018-19 | Round of 16, second leg

Venue: Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund
Kick-off: 8pm GMT, tonight

Tottenham are in Germany tonight for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Dortmund looking to protect a commanding 3-0 lead.

Heung-min Son, man-of-the-match Jan Vertonghen and Fernando Llorente all netted for Spurs during a terrific second-half display which blew away Lucien Favre's Bundesliga leaders at Wembley.

Things have not gone smoothly at all for Spurs since then with successive defeats to Burnley and Chelsea ending their title hopes and dragging them into the crowded battle for a top-four finish, though Saturday's north London derby draw against Arsenal steadied the ship.

As for Dortmund, the Bundesliga leaders have hit a stumbling block to Bayern Munich to close the gap at the summit to just goal difference.

Score prediction: Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Tottenham

Tottenham have been in shaky form since that memorable European night at Wembley, though should at least have taken some confidence from that late Hugo Lloris penalty save - and Vertonghen block - against Arsenal that saw them avoid a third successive defeat.

Dortmund are typically a force to be reckoned with in front of their famous Yellow Wall, but their young team has been criticised as 'immature' by club favourite Matthias Sammer during that recent malaise.

The hosts may have enough to win the game with Reus back, but surely a 3-0 deficit will be too much to overturn.

Head to Head history and results (h2h)

The two sides have met on five previous occasions, with Tottenham boasting three wins to Dortmund's two.

In addition to this season's last-16 first leg, they met in the Champions League group stage in 2017-18, with Spurs winning 3-1 at home and 2-1 away.

They also squared off in the Europa League round of 16 in March 2016. Dortmund easily won that tie 5-1 on aggregate after following a 3-0 victory in Dortmund with a 2-1 triumph at White Hart Lane.
