[ally1978]

Some stats on Dortmund away from home this season:

Bundesliga - Played 11, Won 6, Drawn 1, Lost 4, Goals For 24, Goals Against 18 (only one clean sheet - v Union Berlin)
German Cup - Played 2, Won 1, Drawn 0, Lost 1, Goals For 4, Goals Against 2
Champions League - Played 3, Won 1, Drawn 0, Lost 2, Goals For 3, Goals Against 8

And prior to Sunday's 6-0 whacking of Monchengladbach, Dortmund had conceded 13 times in their previous six league games (included in that is a 5-2 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

Make no mistake about it, this won't be easy, but they have defensive deficiencies that we are more than capable of exploiting.

Score 1st we win the tie.

They score first it’s squeaky bum time, it’s that simple

Yep, first goal is absolutely vital.

We need to press them again from the start. They will give us chances. If we are clinical, we will go through.

They have too much attacking talent to try and sit back and absorb it for 90mins.

Both teams need to score really so could be a slobberknocker.

 

[JMCK]

I think Matthais Sammer, well before the game last Thursday, has been critical of their defence, as maybe lacking experience. Hopefully we play an attacking game and not merely try and hold the lead.

We don’t

 

[GKRSC]

Think it’ll be another cracker for the neutral. But for us, a bloody stressful 90 mins!

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

We don’t

Well technically no but I meant its almost a certainty a team like Dortmund, especially in their position, will do. Ergo Rangers will need to score even though the current scoreline doesnt need it to progress.

It could well go tit for tat which will produce a stormy game.
