Chelsea will look to erase a one-goal deficit from the first leg of this Champions League round of 16 tie when they host Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.
The Blues go into this match on the back of what was their second win in twelve games in all competitions, against Leeds United in the Premier League. Just to remind you of how difficult it has been for Graham Potter's side to score goals in recent weeks, the goal which secured the victory was only their second in their last seven games in all competitions. Given that all of those games ended with two goals or fewer, Tuesday's game is likely to be a tight affair.
Dortmund, meanwhile, will go into this game full of confidence, having won all of their ten games across all competitions in 2023. Despite heading into the game with one of the best form in Europe's top five leagues at the moment, the visitors would be a bit worried ahead of this game as they have lost each of their last five clashes with English sides on the road.
Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Although the hosts are currently struggling with their form, they rarely fail to impress in home games in the Champions League.
Still, it won't be an easy game against a Dortmund side that have lost only once in the Champions League this season. All the last four games of the visitors in this competition ended with less than 2.5 goals, so we aren’t expecting Tuesday’s game to be different.
