Atl. Madrid vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips (10 April)

Injured a few weeks ago in his right ankle, maestro Antoine Griezmann (19 goals, 7 assists in all competitions) missed the Blues rally but was back right after for the clash against Villarreal. Ditto for Uruguayan international Gimenez, in defense. On the other hand, it should be a little tight for the usual starting defender Hermoso, while the unfortunate Lemar is injured for a long time. Against Inter, Memphis Depay stood out by scoring his team's 2nd goal to win overtime but he is absent this Wednesday (muscle problem announced at the start of the week, OUT for the next 3 to 4 weeks according to the doctors of the club). The serial scorer Morata (5 pawns in C1) will be in full possession of his means after a lightning comeback.

Note that it was Saul Niguez and Witsel (ex-Dortmund) who brought back the 3 points for the Ceramica against Villarreal. Among the Germans, the valiant Haller (African champion with the Ivory Coast) returned to the competition but Dutch international Malen (13 goals, 3 assists TCC) has not played for 2 matches and will be out, like former Rennes full-back Bensebaïni. Goalkeeper Kobel will be there after making his return against Stuttgart on Sunday. A priori, the prolific center forward Füllkrug (11 goals, 8 assists in the Bundesliga) and the returning Sancho (loaned by United for the second part of the season) should all appear in the eleven.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 15 of the previous 18 league games involving Dortmund, and both of their meetings with Atl. Madrid last season finished goalless. Speaking of the hosts, eight of their most recent 12 home matches have followed the same pattern, so anyone expecting a thriller is likely to be disappointed by this contest.
