Dortmund

Things are exciting after the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarterfinals. No team has an advantage of more than one goal, so everything is in the air. Precisely, Atlético Madrid won 2-1 at home against Dortmund, and now they must finish the work in front of the yellow wall.

The Colchoneros looked massively superior at times in the Civitas Metropolitano, but they were unable the translate that into a big enough difference towards the second leg. Now, Dortmund has everything in their hands to turn the score around.

Why Bet on Dortmund?

Borussia Dortmund has its sights set on getting to the Semifinals for the first time since 2013. But first, they should think about tiying the global score. 

Edin Terzic’s side had an outstanding response in the second half of the first leg at the Metropolitano Stadium last week and was unlucky not to end up with an equalizer to keep things even. However, we must point out that their first-half performance was unacceptable at this level, and they cannot afford a repeat of that in the second leg.

The team comes from a hard-fought win in the Bundesliga against Gladbach, where they featured a lot of substitutes.

Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?

Atletico Madrid managed to hold off a late Borussia Dortmund fightback to hold a slender advantage. As said before, the 2-1 tasted dull considering how superior they were in the first half.

Diego Simeone’s side made a blistering start at Estadio Metropolitano, and Rodrigo de Paul put them in front in the fourth minute after intercepting Ian Maatsen’s loose pass as Dortmund tried to play their way out of an aggressive press.

Having survived those late scares in the first leg, Atlético comes from an excellent win against Girona, also at home.

Final Betting Analysis: Dortmund vs. Atlético Madrid

A tough task awaits Dortmund as they attempt to overcome the defeat suffered in the first leg to reach the semifinals.

Simeone’s side is used to this type of experience since they know they have a great chance of making it to the last four. 

At other times, this match would have all the ingredients to see the Colchoneros park the bus all 90 minutes.  However, the Madrid side has a new identity, and we expect an open game where they emerge victorious by 2-3.

Go for a victory for the visitors at 3.16. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $216 for a total payout of $316.
