Atl. Madrid vs Dortmund Match Preview And Prediction
Atl. Madrid vs Dortmund: Wednesday night at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid takes on Borussia Dortmund in the opening leg of their quarterfinal matchup in the UEFA Champions League.
After 2016–17, Los Colchoneros will look to make their first semi-final appearance. Over two legs and in the evening, they are the favorites. Could they have issues with the Germans? In their last 16 home matches in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, Atletico Madrid has won ten and drawn six.
In these 16 games, Los Colchoneros have only let up 4 goals. Out of the last 13 Champions League games, Borussia Dortmund has only scored three goals or more in one. This season’s Spanish La Liga title match has eluded Atletico Madrid due to their inconsistent domestic play.
Diego Simeone’s team, who are presently only two points behind Athletic Bilbao in fifth place, will even need to work hard to finish in the top four. However, Los Colchoneros will be full of confidence going into this match after defeating Villarreal 2-1 on the road in the previous league game ten days prior.
Borussia Dortmund is not a case in point. On Saturday afternoon, they suffered a disheartening 0-1 home loss to Stuttgart, ending a run of four victories. The team’s attempt to place in the top four of the German Bundesliga has been derailed by the loss. As a result, Edin Terzic’s team is now in fifth place.
Atl. Madrid vs Dortmund: Betting Analysis
In their home divisions, both teams’ campaigns have been inconsistent. They have, nevertheless, performed admirably thus far this term in the elite European tournament. In the round of sixteen, Atletico Madrid demonstrated their might by defeating the unwavering leaders of Serie A, Inter Milan.
Diego Simeone’s team demonstrated its tenacity in crucial home matches during this season. In fact, Atletico Madrid has won all 16 of its matches in the Champions League’s knockout stage at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. Ten victories have come their way. As a result, our only choice in this case is to support the home win selection at 1.80 odds.
As an alternative, we’ll opt with the 1.85 odds on the Under 2.5 goals selection. Borussia Dortmund has survived the “group of death” ahead of teams like PSG, AC Milan, and Newcastle thanks to strong defensive performances. It says volumes that in 12 of their previous 13 Champions League games, fewer than three goals were scored.
Although they have been playing more attackingly this season, Atletico Madrid is already in the knockout stage. We by no means anticipate Diego Simeone to take needless chances in the last third on Wednesday since the stakes are so high.
