Dortmund and Inter fight for second place

Borussia Dortmund are currently third in Group F and will be expecting to beat Slavia Prague to put the pressure on second placed Inter.

Inter host Barcelona, but with the Spanish club already guaranteed to win the group, they may not take a particularly strong side to Italy. Dortmund are tied on seven points with Inter, who have the superior head-to-head record. That means that Dortmund must take more points from the final game than Inter, to stand any chance of making the last-16.

The positive news for Dortmund is that they have put a poor run of form behind them by winning their last two games. At the weekend they thrashed Fortuna Dusseldorf 5-0 at home and are now third in the Bundesliga, only five points behind the leaders Borussia Monchengladbach.

Slavia Prague were always going to find it hard against such stellar names in this group. They will finish bottom, but have twice pulled off surprising results away from home which account for their two points. Having drawn at the San Siro against Inter, they doubled their total of points in November with an away draw at Barcelona.

Dortmund can contain unmotivated visitors

Borussia Dortmund won the reverse fixture 2-0. It was one of only two games that Slavia Prague have failed to score in during their Champions League campaign, but of the three matches in which they have found the net, two were at home.

With nothing to play for it's hard to see the Czechs being too motivated, which should increase Borussia Dortmund's chances of keeping a second successive clean sheet, after doing do against Fortuna Dusseldorf on Saturday. Dortmund are 2.20 to win to nil.
