Dortmund vs Atl. Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips (16 April)

Already absent during the first leg, defender and former Rennais Bensebaini, who is having a difficult first season with Borussia, should still be missing for Dortmund this Tuesday. Otherwise, Edin Terzic can count on most of his strength for this meeting, and in particular on the return of the important Dutch striker Malen (11 goals in the Bundesliga) who played around thirty minutes this weekend. Surprise starter at Wanda, attacking midfielder Nmecha did not convince and was replaced by Julian Brandt (6 goals and 11 assists in the Bundesliga) at half-time. The attacking trio could again consist of Sancho (1 goal and 1 assist in 10 Bundesliga games), Adeyemi (3 goals in the Bundesliga) and Füllkrug (11 goals and 8 assists in the Bundesliga) although the African champion Haller ( 0 goals in the Bundesliga) distinguished himself by scoring the goal of hope in Madrid. The midfield shows great certainty with the experienced Can and Sabitzer. On the Atlético Madrid side, the long-term injured Lemar and the Dutch striker Depay (5 goals in Liga) are still missing, but the important defender Hermoso has made his return this weekend, even playing as a starter against Girona.

Remember that Depay was decisive during the round of 16 contested against Inter by scoring the goal to snatch extra time. On the first leg, Antoine Griezmann (11 goals and 6 assists in La Liga) stood out by delivering a sublime assist to the piston Dias Lino. He should still be associated with Alvaro Morata (14 goals in La Liga) up front. The two men have shown great efficiency in C1 this season with 6 and 5 goals respectively.

Over the course of their last 15 Champions League matches, Atl. Madrid have been involved in just a couple of contests in which both teams have found the net, so this is a pretty unusual occurrence. Not only that, but at least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from eight of the previous 12 top-flight fixtures involving Dortmund.
