It’s time for verdicts in the Champions League with the second leg of the round of 16 kicking off, starting with Chelsea-Borussia Dortmund and Benfica-Club Brugge back on the pitch on Tuesday evening. The Blues are looking for redemption at home against the Germans, while the Lusitanians want to confirm their 2-0 win in Belgium. Here’s how to watch the races in streaming and on TV. Chelsea starts from the 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Dortmund. Despite many chances created in the first leg, the English side were unable to get past goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and were punched by a memorable coast-to-coast goal from the very young talent Adeyemi. However, the London team can bet on a favorable statistic: in eight of the previous defeats in the first legs of the knockout phase of the cup, the Blues managed seven times to overturn the result in the second leg, thus obtaining qualification. Chelsea have also won seven of their last nine Champions League home games, with the exception of a 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in last season’s quarter-finals and a 1-1 draw with Salzburg in the group stage of this edition. By contrast, Borussia Dortmund have progressed in five of their six previous meetings after winning the first leg of the knockout stage of Europe’s top competition. Tuesday evening will be the first time ever for the Germans at Stamford Bridge. In the last five Champions League away games against English teams, BVB has always lost: the last victory dates back to the 2-1 draw in 2013 at Arsenal. In the other match of the evening, Benfica will host Club Brugge, on the strength of the 2-0 victory in the first leg at the Belgians’ home, who for their part are called to a feat in Lisbon, where they will play for the first time in their history . Only one of the previous 45 teams to win the first leg away in the Champions League knockout stage by at least two goals has been eliminated: PSG against Manchester United in 2018-19. In their previous 10 home games against Belgian sides in all competitions, they have never lost, winning all of their last six, while Club Brugge have lost five of their seven away games against Portuguese sides in European competitions (W2), but won the most recent one: 4-0 at Porto in the group stage of this Champions League.
