UEFA Champions League Prediction: Tottenham – Dortmund Borussia (20-01-2026)

Two table neighbours Tottenham and Borussia should take this game as the most important one of the competition. A win now would guarantee promotion to the play-offs, which later will depend on the last round results.

Despite T.Frank being slated for the poor results from the team, Tottenham find themselves in 11th place, which gives the coach an opportunity to buy more time to improve the results.

Spurs did great in their latest UEFA Champions League fixture versus Slavia Prague, winning 3-0 and getting their 4 clean sheet of the competition already. Moreover, this continued Tottenham’s perfect home streak as it was 3rd win out of possible 3.

The Premier League remains a different animal for them, as T.Frank’s men are only 14th. 2026 started with two draws against Sunderland and Brentford and later Spurs fell short versus Bournemouth 2-3.

Borussia Dortmund fans likely have mixed feelings about the team’s performance in the competition, as their beloved footballer dropped 4 points unexpectedly. Firstly, BVB conceded 2 last minute goals in a 4-4 draw against Juventus and secondly, in the latest round, they failed to beat a huge underdogs Bodo/Glimt at home.

Also, for Dortmund, this will be the 2nd challenge from England, as they previously lost against Manchester City away. Overall, the German team now has a 1W-1D-1L record while travelling.

Die Borussen started the year with 6 goals in their first 2 fixtures, drawing once against Frankfurt 3-3. As usual Bayern Munich are leading the race for the title and Borussia are now 11 points behind them.

Although Spurs won all home games so far, this is their hardest challenge yet. The German side is way more consistent, while Spurs tend to surprise with both – wins and losses. Knowing Tottenham football philosophy, it would not be a surprise that T.Frank would be happy with a draw, which betting websites could offer as a solid bet.
