Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

The Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund mid-week UEFA Champions League first-leg quarterfinal clash will be played at the former home ground of Civitas Metropolitan Stadium in Madrid, Spain. The visitors Borussia Dortmund are currently unbeaten in their last five outings in all competitions. Also, they bolster an undefeated run of about nine games when playing in away-from-home fixtures.

Dortmund would fancy their chances of beating Atletico in the first leg so that they can move into the second leg with a probable advantage on aggregate goals scored. However, this won’t be an easy task for the German club considering the atmosphere that will be created by the host’s home crowd.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid has the resources to get a positive result out of this first-leg quarterfinal fixture. Their attacking players including Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann appear to be in a fine run of form recently and will hold the key for them against visiting Borussia Dortmund. Also, they hold attacking options like Memphis Depay who possesses the ability to change a game by coming on as a substitute from the bench in the later stages of a crucial encounter.
