Chelsea will hope to produce a comeback in front of their home supporters in the second leg of Champions League round of 16 when they face in-form German side Borussia Dortmund. The Germans might be narrowly leading the tie, however, the Tuesday night contest is still very much in balance. Despite Chelsea’s struggles this season, the Blues have the quality and the home advantage on their side to register a comeback victory. With so much riding on this game, it will be interesting to see who makes the most of it.

Borussia Dortmund produced a solid outing in the reverse leg a few weeks ago to edge out the English side 1-0. They had to work hard for the win but Dortmund did whatever that is needed to get the maximum points. Since then, there domestic form has also been brilliant. They have 49 points from 23 games to be level on points with Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich. They are heading into this game in the back of registering a 2-1 win over RB Leipzig. With form on their side, Dortmund will be confident of getting the job done at Stamford Bridge.

The same cannot be said for Chelsea, who have been struggling massively this season, thereby increasing the pressure on Graham Potter. However, they did end their recent poor run with a hard-fought win over Leeds United in the Premier League. They are now placed at the 10th spot in the league standings, with 34 points to their name from 25 matches. The Blues are still a long way from the fourth spot, hence, they would turn to Champions League, looking for some respite.

Chelsea will be eager to avoid getting eliminated in the first knockout round of the Champions League. However, they have to be at the top of their game to get anything out of the match against a difficult Borussia Dortmund side. They have not played each other many times in the past. In fact, the reverse leg in Germany was the first time they faced each other in the Champions League. Dortmund deservedly won it 1-0 in the end. If Chelsea are to overturn that deficit, then the Blues have to overcome their recent struggles and produce a solid display over the 90 minutes or more.
