Both Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid have advanced far in the UEFA Champions League across the recent past. On Tuesday, they square off in Germany with the hopes of making it to the semifinals.
This season, Borussia Dortmund hasn't been able to live up to their expectations. Even though they are now in fifth place in the domestic league, they have a chance to get to Europe. BVB will need to play at their highest level in this game to have an opportunity of making it to the semi-final after losing the first leg 2-1.
Borussia Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid - Prediction
Even though Atletico Madrid has shown glimpses of their real capability, their campaign has been uneventful. Only in this competition do they have a chance to take home hardware as the fourth-placed team in the league. Despite having a 2-1 aggregate advantage in the first leg, Simeone is aware that the game is still ongoing. They achieved an amazing victory over Girona in the previous match, winning 3-1 in La Liga.
Dortmund have a strong record at their home and would be hoping to make the home advantage count in the second leg. They will be without some of their key stars in the upcoming game but they have squad depth. However, Simeone is known for his defensive tactics and having the lead in this tie, he might continue with the tactics in the second leg.
