The La Liga team knocked out Porto in the previous round and have also taken the spoils against Zenit St Petersburg and AC Milan in the group stages, so should come into this one full of confidence.
They are in a fight to finish in the Champions League places in the Spanish top flight this term and they have won just twice in seven matches across all competitions, which is far from ideal preparation.
With this first leg being on home soil, Malaga know that a win is vital to their chances of reaching the semi-final and although not many are expecting them to qualify, they are certainly not to be written off.
At the moment, a bet on the hosts winning on the night gives you odds of 51/19, so they are decent value.
Goals haven’t exactly been flying in over recent weeks, but Javier Saviola is usually a threat going forward and can be backed at 8/1 to get the first goal in this encounter.
This is going to be a tough evening for Malaga, but with the way they have performed in their debut Champions League campaign, there is no reason for them to fear anybody.
As for Borussia Dortmund, as mentioned, they are unbeaten in this tournament so far and have been one of the best teams on show in the Champions League.
The German champions aren’t going to be retaining their Bundesliga crown this time out, but success in this compeition would leave fans happy and they know they have a fantastic chance to reach the final four.
Jurgen Klopp’s men were in the ‘group of death’ earlier in the campaign as they had to lock horns with Ajax, Manchester City and Real Madrid, but they managed to finish in top spot and play some excellent football in the process.
Dortmund are the 5/4 favourites to come out on top in this one and if they can claim a victory on home soil, then it is going to be tough to look past them reaching the semi-finals.
Robert Lewandowski is often the main man going forward for the Germans and he is being offered at 9/2 to break the deadlock here.
The Poland international is proving to be one of the best strikers around and although there is a lot of speculation as to whether he will be playing for Dortmund or not next season, he is sure to be fully focused on winning this trophy with the club.
This should be a thrilling encounter between two attacking sides and it all gets underway from 7.45pm on Wednesday.
