As both Tottenham and Spurs will adopt an attack-minded approach in Tuesday's clash, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. Spurs have been in a poor form ahead of the crucial Champions League top-8 battle, taking just 1.10 points per game across their last five and losing three straight. Their home record offers little comfort (1.17 PPG), though Spurs still produce 1.82 xG at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and concede just 1.17 goals on average. The major issue is the absence of key defender Micky van de Ven, whose pace and recovery ability are vital to Thomas Frank's defensive line. Without him, Spurs’ already fragile defence (1.37 xGA overall) becomes more vulnerable against elite attacks.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, have gathered momentum with 2.10 PPG overall and a strong 2.29 PPG at home this CL season. Away from home they remain steady (1.67 PPG), scoring 2.00 goals per match, though they concede 1.67—a sign of vulnerability. Injuries to Anselmino and Marcel Sabitzer affect midfield balance, but Dortmund’s attack remains dangerous, generating 1.64 expected goals overall and scoring in every away match. Niko Kovac has no other selection worries.
As five of the last six H2H meetings went over 2.5 and both teams average 3+ goals per game, we believe that there is big value in betting on Over 2.5 goals. Additionally, BTTS and Over 3.5 goals markets are worth considering.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 20 January 2026 at 20:00.
