Tottenham vs Dortmund

Tottenham, sitting in 11th position, will be looking to continue their strong home form as they host Borussia Dortmund, who are just one place above them in 10th, in this Champions League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on January 20th, 2026, at 20:00.

Tottenham vs Dortmund Form

Tottenham’s recent form has been struggling, with no wins in their last five matches. Since a 1–0 win at Crystal Palace, they’ve drawn twice (0–0 at Brentford and 1–1 vs Sunderland) and lost three straight (3–2 at Bournemouth, 2–1 vs Aston Villa in the FA Cup, and 2–1 at West Ham). Overall, draws are being turned into defeats and confidence appears low, with defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge contributing to a difficult run.

Borussia Dortmund’s recent form is solid and attacking, with three wins and three draws in their last six matches, and no defeats. They’ve picked up wins over Borussia Mönchengladbach (2–0), Werder Bremen (3–0) and St. Pauli (3–2), while drawing twice in league play (2–2 vs Freiburg, 3–3 at Eintracht Frankfurt) and also in Europe (2–2 at Bodo/Glimt). Overall, Dortmund are unbeaten with a strong goal return across competitions.

Tottenham vs Dortmund Match Prediction

Tottenham host Borussia Dortmund in a tightly balanced clash, with both sides on 11 points and tracking toward the knockout round play-offs. Spurs have been dominant at home in the Champions League, winning all three matches at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, scoring eight goals and conceding none, though they are winless in five across all competitions.

Dortmund arrive unbeaten in seven games, including a 2–2 draw with Bodø/Glimt, and have avoided defeat in their last four away trips overall, though their European record in England is poor (seven losses in eight CL away games). Recent history favours Spurs, who have won all four Champions League meetings since 2017, including 3–0 at home and 1–0 in Germany.

Tottenham’s perfect home record and dominance in this fixture make them narrow favourites, though Dortmund’s counter-attacking threat ensures a competitive encounter.

Score Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Dortmund
