Borussia Dortmund's Edin Terzic Seeking Positive Spark In Crucial AC Milan Clash

Edin Terzic's Borussia Dortmund can seal a spot in the Champions League last 16 by winning at AC Milan on Tuesday, sparking some positivity amid a stuttering domestic campaign. Already ten points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen with just 12 games played, Terzic's men have however impressed on the European stage this season. Dortmund sit first in a Champions League group which includes Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle, having conceded just two goals in four matches.

Saudi-Backed Newcastle Face Champions League Reality Check

Newcastle must overcome the might of Paris Saint-Germain and a mounting injury list if the Magpies' first foray into the Champions League for 20 years is not to come to a premature end on Tuesday. Damaging back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund have left Eddie Howe's men sitting bottom of a devilishly difficult Group F, also featuring last season's semi-finalists AC Milan. Newcastle must avoid defeat in the French capital to have any chance of reaching the last 16. Qualification looked well within the grasp of Howe's side when they humbled PSG 4-1 on Tyneside in October.

Lens Warm Up For Champions League Trip To Arsenal With Comfortable Victory

Lens extended their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 to eight matches on Saturday with a 3-0 victory at Clermont, before turning their attentions to Wednesday's Champions League game at Arsenal. Elye Wahi's early strike got Lens up and running before Adrien Thomasson and Wesley Said's second-half strikes completed the job in a match in which both teams were reduced to 10 men. Lens beat Arsenal at home in October but might need another shock result next week to keep their first Champions League campaign since 2002 alive.
