Borussia Dortmund will face their next opponents on Tuesday which will see the Champions League match against Tottenham Hotspur. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.

Tottenham Hotspur will be wanting a better result here following the 1-2 Premier League losing effort in their last game against el West Ham. We are thinking that Spurs look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation this time and select Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence, Joao Palhinha, Archie Gray, Randal Kolo Muani, Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert y Mathys Tel.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank will be grateful to have no fitness worries whatsoever before this clash thanks to a fully injury-free squad available to choose from. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Micky van de Ven, Radu Drăgușin, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Yves Bissouma.

Possible Tottenham Hotspur team for the game against Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund go into this clash following a 3-2 Bundesliga win over el St. Pauli in their previous game. We believe Dortmund seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation using Gregor Kobel, Emre Can, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Yan Couto, Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha, Ramy Bensebaini, Maximilian Beier, Julian Brandt y Fabio Silva.

With a fully healthy squad available for selection, Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovač doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this clash. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Patrick Drewes and Salih Özcan.
