Borussia Dortmund will look to advance to the next round of the Champions League when they travel to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday for the second leg of the knockout round.
The Blues are looking to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit after falling to a narrow defeat in Germany courtesy of a goal by Karim Adeyemi. The loss formed part of a recent run of three consecutive defeats for Graham Potter’s side.
But that run ended at the weekend as they secured a 1-0 home win over struggling Leeds United in the Premier League. The result also ended a run of six games without a win for Chelsea, who will now hope to make it back-to-back competitive wins for the first time since October.

However, it will be tough to do so against this high-flying Borussia Dortmund side, who come into this fixture on a run of ten consecutive wins. The German Bundesliga side are arguably the most in-form team in Europe in 2023, having won all their games this year by a combined total of 26-8 while keeping four clean sheets.
After struggling early in the season, they have rekindled their season and now sit level on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the league table. In the Champions League, they are unbeaten in their last five games (W2, D3) and even held Manchester City to a draw in that period.
Edin Terzić will be hoping for more of the same from his boys as they try to advance to the quarter-final stage of the UCL for the fifth time in their history.
