Both teams played out an exciting game at the Philips Stadion in the first leg. Following that, PSV have won one, lost one and drawn one of their three games while Dortmund have won two and lost one.

Schlotterbeck is a big miss for Dortmund but Hummels is an excellent replacement to have. With the home advantage on their side, the German side should qualify for the quarter-finals.
