Borussia Dortmund - Málaga CF 09/04/2013 19:45 GMT
Jurgen Klopp rested most of his key players this weekend, but after his team was trailing by 1:2 in the result he had to put into play some of them in the second half. Quickly they changed the outcome of the game and Borussia scored three unanswered goals. The hosts expects their oponenet with full strength and will try to score an early goal in the match. This will force Malaga to attack after the 0:0 in the previous match. Accordingly, the guests will leave large spaces for the fast players of Borussia, who with a bit of luck could have decided the outcome of this clash in their favor in the first meeting.
Borussia Dortmund has only 3 losses at home this season, while Malaga is certainly quite hesitant as a guest. Malaga conceded three losses in their last five away games and in the Champions League the team has only one victory in all its visits. Manuel Pellegrini has serious problems in defense as Weligton and Manuel Iturra are suspended for this match. In view of the attacking strength of Borussia and the defensive issues of Málaga, it is unlikely that the guests will be able to keep a clean sheet.
Currently, Malaga has only one loss in the Champions League, but undoubtedly it will be extremely difficult for the team to preserve these statistics and to move forward in the tournament. The team of Borussia Dortmund failed to score in a home game this season just once. Only Lewandowski, Götze and Reus have scored a total of 50 goals this season. Götze failed to score at La Rosaleda after he faced three times alone the opponent`s goalkeeper. Thus, he will have to seek a rematch in front of own audience.
After the first quarterfinal clash between these two teams, which ended in a 0-0 draw, everyone in Malaga`s squad expressed satisfaction of not conceding a goal. However, only Stuttgart managed not to concede a goal at the Westfalenstadion this season. Of course, the incredible atmosphere of this stadium contributes to the success of Borussia. Westfalenstadion was even elected as the best stadium by The Times because, because of its great atmosphere.
