December 10: Home to Slavia Praha

Borussia Dortmund host Czech champions Slavia Praha in the final matchday of the Champions League group stage. The Black and Yellows find themselves in third place at the moment, thanks to their inferior head to head record against Inter Milan. They will have to better the Italian side’s result if they are to qualify for the round of 16.

Slavia Praha were beaten by Inter Milan last time out, but have already earned draws both at the San Siro and the Camp Nou. And they will be determined to claim another scalp at the Westfalenstadion.

While Borussia Dortmund beat them in the reverse fixture, it was far from a straight forward victory.
