Borussia Dortmund have a vital home game in Champions League Group C. The Germans are second in the group, three points behind visitors and group leaders, Ajax. Dortmund lead third placed Sporting Lisbon by three points and they host Besiktas who are bottom with no points. With Dortmund yet to visit Sporting, they will look to get something out of this match. The Bundesliga side have won six of their last seven games. The other one was the heavy 4-0 loss at Ajax that has hit their qualification hopes. Before that defeat. Dortmund had won 2-1 at Besiktas and defeated Sporting 1-0 at home. 13 of the last Dortmund home games have been won, the other a Super Cup loss to Bayern Munich. In the Champions League, they have less impressive form with one win in four, two of which were drawn. Six of the last nine have seen both teams score.

Ajax top the Dutch Eredvisie but had their lead cut to two points at the weekend. They could only draw 0-0 at Heracles, ending a run of three wins. Their last four games have seen them score 11 goals and keep four clean sheets. Only two goals have been conceded in their last ten matches, one away at Sporting in this group, the other a 1-0 home loss to Utrecht. Ajax can go six points clear if winning this game and that'd see them in the knock-out stages.
