This has the attractive experience of a conventional European link, with home advantage on the next leg showing critical and Dortmundas capacity for scoring away targets a genuine concern fur Manuel Pellegrini. A cursory look at Dortmundas away effects in the Champions League in 2013 will tell you that they donat tend to mask and get defensive on the other sideas repair, and certainly donat concern entering their opponentsa stronghold! In the group levels they comprehensively outplayed Manchester Cityas expensively-assembled EPL winners, were very remarkable at the Bernabeu, pressing Jose Mourinho to declare they were strong contenders for an overall win (probably to deflect attention from Realas difficulty visiting terms with Borussua!) and Ajax were crushed. They followed that up in the round of sixteen by getting two away goals at Shakhtar Donetsk, no mean feat and the perfect method to set the table for an additional leg beating. I want to set this in simple terms: despite a string of tough accessories, theyave obtained in every European away game this season. Malaga beware, then. Undoubtedly Pellegrini would rather the pattern of the tie the reverse, since it was against Porto. His stable defence would probably fancy closing up shop at the Westfalenstadion as they did at Estadio Dragao, so they could haul them right back for an ordeal of fire in front of La Rosaledaas outstanding crowd. Thatas perhaps not likely to happen though: they need to turn to place Jurgen Kloppas men through the generator in the first leg and desire to give themselves enough to stick onto in the 2nd leg. Important conflict Jeremy Toulalan /Manuel IturraAv Marco Reus / Mario Gotze Borussia rely on Robert Lewandowski for goals, but their targeting play is more varied than that might suggest. Behind the striker an array of interesting ability tears forward to support and offer him: Toulalan and Iturra will have their hands full ensuring they arenat allowed to create an away goal. In trading Reus for Shinji Kagawa, Klopp has lost just a little guile but gained more directness, which probably isnat what Malaga would want: they might be ready to smother a, but Reus is harder to pin down. Joaquin v Marcel Schmelzer Joaquinas renaissance under Pellegrini has, at the very least simply, been down to him being permitted more license to roam. Given the obligation of being a vital playmaker, Joaquin has responded by paying the trust shown in him with some high quality performances. Nevertheless, this could function as game to show back the clock. Dortmund have been at risk of thickness recently, without doubt because their second line is wanting to help Lewandowski in the place of drop back and protect. May Joaquin be able to use this by sticking to the wing and assessment Schmelzer, an entertainingly feisty left back who nonetheless is happier careering forwards than penned back on his or her own half? Probable line-ups Malaga: Recent type 3/3/13 Liga Atletico Madrid (h) 0-0 9/3/13 Liga Valladolid (a) 1-1 13/3/13 Champions League Porto (h) 2-0 17/3/13 Liga Espanyol (h) 0-2 30/3/13 Liga Rayo (a) 3-1 Likely Formation: 4-2-3-1 Likely Line-up: Caballero; Gamez, Weligton, Demichelis, Antunes; Toulalan, Iturra; Joaquin, Isco, Julio Baptista; Santa Cruz. Ways Well, this is actually the big problem. Does Pellegrini throw caution to the wind and look to attack Dortmund hard before heading to Germany for the second leg or back his support to survive a second leg onslaught? Julio Baptistaas return has offered a new solution to him and his techniques have now been more varied as a result, but expect a 4-2-3-1 which may convert into a 4-4-2 if required with Baptista upgrading to for, a front two. Borussia Dortmund: New Form 2/3/13ABundesliga Hannover (h) 3-1 5/3/13 Champions League Shakhtar Donetsk (h) 3-0 9/3/13 Bundesliga Schalke (a) 1-2 16/3/13ABundesliga Freiburg (h) 5-1 30/3/13ABundesliga Stuttgart (a) 2-1 Possible Formation: 4-2-3-1 Probable Line-up: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Subotic, Santana, Schmelzer; Bender, Kehl; Reus, Gundogan, Gotze; Lewandowski Methods Itas exactly about the important. Kloppas sideways a top energy pushing sport and assault at speed. Also basically a 4-2-3-1, theyare not really setup to sit in and play for a clean sheet away from home and will be unhappy if they donat take Aan away target back for the home leg. Prediction: Dortmund really are a really powerful side, but Malaga represent the type fo opposition who could harm them. A great deal depends on the balance Pellegrini is able to affect in this first leg. I fancy Malaga is going to do enough to touch a one target edge, leaving the 2nd leg perfectly positioned.
