There was little to choose between the teams in the first leg on 20 February. Dortmund took early control, and were good value for Donyell Malen's opener against his old club. PSV battled back well, though, cancelling out the visitors' lead through Luuk de Jong's penalty, and there were chances for a winner at both ends before the two former European champions shared the spoils. The victors advance to the draw for the remainder of the competition on Friday 15 March.

Expert predictions

Matthias Rötters, Dortmund reporter
Dortmund came into this tie as clear favourites, but the first-leg action put doubt into some minds: PSV would have won comfortably had they made better use of their chances. Now the focus switches to Dortmund and a stadium that can make a difference. The Yellow Wall can intimidate even the biggest clubs, and while PSV will give their hosts a game, it is still hard to imagine BVB missing out.

Derek Brookman, PSV reporter
PSV continue to rule the roost in the Netherlands, their recent 2-2 draw with Feyenoord preserving their unbeaten status in the Eredivisie as well as a ten-point lead over the reigning champions. The 1-1 draw against Dortmund in the first leg will also give them confidence: it was a game they could well have won. All in all, Peter Bosz’s side will travel to the Ruhrgebiet with the belief that they can get the victory necessary to progress to the quarter-finals.

What the coaches say

Edin Terzić, Dortmund coach: "The main detail is that we're going into tomorrow's game with a positive feeling. We've earned that with the first leg result. We'll have a great evening with our fans and we're really looking forward to it. The important thing is that we can qualify for the next round. The answer lies on the pitch, and our season is far from over."

Peter Bosz, PSV coach: "The first leg was an open game, very intense. Dortmund didn't counter very often and we had the match under control, so in that respect it's a pity we didn't score a second. Everything is still possible. We've already shown this season that we can get results away from home. Particularly when you consider how we took control [in the first leg] when we had possession."
