Meet at Signal Iduna Park for this meeting of the knockout stages of the Champions League between Dortmund and Chelsea. The men led by Edin Terzic are in full swing; they remain on 7 consecutive victories in all competitions! BVB currently sit third in the Bundesliga standings just 3 behind Bayern Munich. During the group stages of the competition, Marco Reus and his team finished second in Group G behind Manchester City. The Yellows and Blacks had lost only one of their 6 games played, 2-1 on the lawn of the Etihad Stadium. Remaining on a more than positive dynamic, the BVB must widen the gap on the scoreboard before the return deadline on March 7th.
For its part, Chelsea is in slow motion in the Premier League… The group coached by Graham Potter remains on 3 draws in a row in the league and occupies only ninth place in the standings. Eliminated from the two English cups (twice against City, 2-0 in the League Cup and 4-0 in the FA Cup), the Blues must therefore focus 100% on the Big Ears Cup in order to improve their season more than average so far! With winter recruits such as Félix, Mudryk or even Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea have no right to leave the Champions League in the round of 16; the London club must not bow to Dortmund!
