Match preview
On Tuesday, Borussia Dortmund will face Chelsea in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge with the goal of completing the job after winning the first leg 1-0.
Three weeks ago, the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 match took place at Signal Iduna Park, and Karim Adeyemi’s amazing goal ended up being the deciding factor between the two teams.
If Chelsea can’t overcome the gap and secure a significant victory on Tuesday, their already awful season might get even worse. On Saturday, Graham Potter’s team defeated Leeds United and recorded a remarkable victory. With Wesley Fofana’s goal, the Blues were able to snap a six-game losing streak.
Graham Potter is under a lot of pressure, and a defeat to Dortmund may spell the end of his tenure as Chelsea’s manager. Since the 2014–15 season, the Blues have left the Champions League in the round of 16 four times, and they are currently in a rather dire situation.
The opposite is true for Borussia Dortmund, who have won all 10 of their games since the World Cup. With goals from Marco Reus and Emre Can in their most recent Bundesliga game on Saturday, they did well to humiliate RB Leipzig.
Despite having more opportunities than Edin Terzic’s team, Leipzig was unable to take advantage of them. Dortmund and Bayern Munich are now equal on points for first place in the Bundesliga, separated only by goal differential.
In what may turn out to be a defining season for them, Dortmund will fancy their chances against Chelsea on Tuesday night and seek to gather even more momentum.
