Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp is confident his side can overturn a 2-1 Champions League first leg deficit against Juventus on Wednesday due to their watertight defence . The improving Germans , who have recovered after a dismal first half to the domestic season that saw them anchored in last place as recently as last month in the Bundesliga , have kept a clean sheet in their last three league games , including a 0-0 draw against Cologne on the weekend . With Neven Subotic and Mats Hummels back fit in central defence , along with full backs Marcel Schmelzer and Lukasz Piszczek , Dortmund 's defence has been as solid as it has been all season .

' ( Against Cologne ) we played another game without letting in a goal and that is something we can build on , ' Klopp told reporters . 'We want to advance to the quarter-finals and we can do this . ' Dortmund boast a fine record at home in Europe having won 11 of their last 14 Champions League games at the Westfalenstadion . But in order to book a spot in the last eight they have to snap a losing run at home against Juventus , having lost all three previous encounters against the Italians in Dortmund . Klopp will be counting on goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang , who has scored five in his last seven outings and in-form Marco Reus , who has struck five times in eight games . Marco Reus cancelled out Carlos Tevez 's opener before Alvaro Morata scored a 42nd-minute winner . Juventus are flying high in Serie A , edging closer to the Italian title with their first triumph away from home in over two months at Palermo , opening up a 14-point lead . 'One less win needed to win the league , ' Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri said , knowing he will now need to shift his focus to Dortmund and their attacking game . 'We will need to take the lead there , maybe score more than one goal , ' said the coach . They will , however , be without influential playmaker Andrea Pirlo who has yet to fully recover from a thigh injury suffered in the first leg . 'He has made good progress but not enough to be in Dortmund , ' the club said in a statement . Klopp knows that his side will have to be at their absolute best to overcome high-flying Serie A giants Juve . Dortmund have won 11 of their last 14 home ties in the Champions League at the Westfalenstadion .
