Why is Borussia Dortmund a safe bet in Game 2?

Dortmund’s previous encounter at home versus Sevilla was back during the 2010-11 Europa League group stage, which ended in a loss, 1-0. No doubt they will want to turn things around. For this occasion, if Dortmund are able to win, it will be the first time they qualify into the quarterfinals since the 2016-17 season. More reason to hold on to the lead.

The German squad is currently unbeaten in the last seven homes games of the Champions League, only to have one loss in their previous 11 home games, which was against the Tottenham Hotspurs during the 2018-19 season.
