BVB and Legia both with long runs

Facts on the match

• Borussia Dortmund have already secured a berth in the last 16 and currently sit atop Group F with a two-point lead over closest chasers Real Madrid. A win over Legia Warsaw would allow the Black and Yellows to seal top spot ahead of schedule if the Spaniards fail to beat Sporting Lisbon in the group's other match.
• A defeat in Dortmund would confirm Legia as the group's bottom team if Sporting win the parallel match against Real.
