Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp is confident his side can reach the Champions League quarterfinals and in the process record its first home win over Italian opponent Juventus on Wednesday.

Dortmund, which beat Juventus to secure its sole Champions League trophy in 1997 in Munich, trails 2-1 after the first leg but Klopp is upbeat about it avoiding the fate of its predecessors on the three previous occasions it has hosted the Italian champion and lost.

Klopp's side has taken 14 points from a possible 18 in the league recently but has been held to goalless draws in its past two games, latterly Saturday's home match with Cologne.
