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
