Defences will be to the fore at Westfalenstadion tonight

"Spurs have the Premier League's best defence while Dortmund have conceded just once in nine Bundesliga and Europa League games this year"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.265/4 in Dortmund v Tottenham

Tobias Gourlay's not expecting to have much fun in Germany this evening

Dortmund v Tottenham
Thursday 18:00

We ended up in purgatory last night. A single goal for St Johnstone settled the match and unsettled us.

Today we're in Germany as Borussia Dortmund entertain Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of their Europa League Last 16 tie. Except 'entertain' might not be quite the right word...

Dortmund have conceded just twice in four European home games this season, the last two of which have both finished with Under 2.5 Goals in total.

Since 2013, 10 of Tottenham's 14 Europa League home games have also been low scorers.

And right now, both teams are pretty solid at the back: Spurs have the Premier League's best defence (24 goals conceded in 29 matches this term) while Dortmund have conceded just once in nine Bundesliga and Europa League games this year.

Recommended Bet
