Dortmund (dpa) - In the past two years, the last sixteen of the Champions League was the end of the line for Borussia Dortmund.

That should change on Tuesday (9 p.m. / Sky) in the second duel between the Bundesliga club and Sevilla FC.

The chances are good.

INITIAL SITUATION: After the 3-2 draw three weeks ago in Andalusia, BVB are going into the second leg of the second leg with a splendid starting position.

The goals of Mahmoud Dahoud and Erling Haaland (2) paved the way to victory.

Everyone involved sees this as a good omen: After an away win in a European Cup first leg, the Revierclub has only failed once: 2004 in the UI Cup against KRC Genk (1: 0, 1: 2).

Nevertheless, coach Edin Terzic warned his professionals against being too careless.

«We need two good games.

We saw that last year, ”said the coach, referring to the knockout of the last 16 against Paris.

After a 2-1 win at home, BVB lost 2-0 in France.

STAFF: In addition to the long-term injured Axel Witsel, Jadon Sancho is another indispensable regular for a long time.

In addition, the failures of Raphael Guerreiro and Giovanni Reyna threaten.

Both professionals were absent from the final training session on Monday.

Nevertheless, Coach Terzic hopes for a timely recovery of the full-back and the attacker.

"We're not giving up hope yet," said the BVB coach and wants to test both ailing professionals again the morning before the game.

OPPONENTS: As record winners in the UEFA Cup and the Europa League (2006/2007/2014/2015/2016/2020), FC Sevilla has earned the highest international esteem and is considered a specialist in knockout games.

But the current form does not bode well for the guest appearance in Dortmund.

For the first time in the era of coach Julen Lopetegui since summer 2019, the team lost three competitive games in a row - most recently with 1: 2 at the previous penultimate Elche.

TRAINER REACTIONS:

Edin Terzic (Borussia Dortmund): “We expect a very good Sevilla and are sure that they want to show a different face tomorrow.

That's why we have to be ready to play better than in Seville. "

Julen Lopetegui (Sevilla FC): «We really want to turn the result around.

This is how we will do it.

We'll try to show a great game. "
