Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the UEFA Champions Legue match.
Atlético Madrid
The Spanish side won their only game in April, beating Villarreal (2:1). Currently, Atlético are ahead of Athletic in the table, occupying the fourth place. The home side may face problems with the squad as Vitolo and Lemar are definitely to miss the game and Hermoso may still be unable to recover from his injury.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia have taken 12 points out of the possible 15 in the German Bundesliga this spring. They eliminated PSV in the previous Champions League round (3:1 on aggregate). The last time Borussia lost an away game was on December 6. They have won 5 games, ending other 4 games in draws, since that moment.
Atlético Madrid – Borussia Dortmund prediction
Borussia ended their 5-games winning run prior to this match. After losing their game against Stuttgart (0:1), Dortmund left the top 4 in the German Bundesliga. Atlético on the other hand, got back to the Champions League qualifying zone.
Their previous head-to-head games were played in the group stage in autumn 2018. Borussia won the home match (4:0), with Atlético winning theirs (2:0). Borussia will do their best to avoid allowing Atlético to have a lead before the second leg.
