Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips
Tottenham start their Champions League campaign with a home tie against German club, Borussia Dortmund, at Wembley Stadium, with the hosts looking to shake off their much publicised ‘Wembley hoodoo’.
The apparent curse has resulted in defeat to Chelsea and just a point shared with poor travelling Burnley so far in the Premier League, but Mauricio Pochettino’s men were in good shape away at Everton on the weekend as they romped to an easy 3-0 win at Goodison Park which should provide them with a timely boost ahead of this important Champions League opener.
Striker Harry Kane continues to bang in the goals for Spurs, and with the likes of Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen providing the creative spark from midfield, Tottenham should get something from this clash.
Borussia Dortmund have made a good start to their German Bundesliga campaign as they’ve registered back-to-back wins over Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin before being held to a 0-0 stalemate away from home at Freiburg on the weekend.
They now make their way to London as they start their Champions League campaign in Group H along with Real Madrid and APOEL, and it seems likely that the German outfit will be in a head-to-head clash with Spurs for the vital second place in this group behind clear favourites, Real Madrid.
This therefore lends even more importance to tonight’s fixture at Wembley, and having lost three of their last four Champions League matches overall, with defeats to Benfica, Monaco (home and away), along with four defeats from their last seven on the road, this could be a tough test for Dortmund this evening.
