5 reasons why Borussia Dortmund will beat Tottenham Hotspur
Borussia Dortmund’s first challenge in the Champions League group stage will be against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, September 13th at 2:45 PM EST.
Spurs are coming off a (3-0) victory against Everton at Goodison Park. Christian Eriksen scored in the Premier League match and Harry Kane scored a brace as he reached and surpassed 100 goals for Tottenham.
Der BVB, however, couldn’t find a goal in their (0-0) draw away against Freiburg last weekend. Dortmund had most of the possession but was unable to find the back of the net.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang thought he had scored the winning goal for Dortmund late in the match, only to find out the goal was denied due to the referee refusing to play advantage.
