These stats should make Spurs fans optimistic of progressing to the CL quarter finals

Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund will vie for a place in the last 8 of the Champions League when they play each other in the Westfalenstadion later tonight.

Both teams come into the game in poor form as Spurs have only picked up a single point in the three games they played after the first leg while Dortmund have won only 1 game since the tie at Wembley.

Both teams are bolstered by the return of key players since the first leg with Harry Kane back for Spurs and Marco Reus back in action for the Germans.

While Spurs go into the game with a massive lead, things can change completely if the home side score first and get the home fans going.

However, if history is anything to go by, then Spurs fans can be extremely confident of going through because in 7 previous cases, no team has been knocked out of the Champions League after winning the first leg 3-0.

Additionally, Dortmund have a poor record in the knockout stages of Europe’s premier club competition.
