Dortmund could beat Atlético in this market – tips for the CL second leg
Madrid have the advantage, but Borussia can turn it around in Dortmund.
Tuesday night is the return leg of Dortmund-Atlético, perhaps the least interesting of the preliminary fixtures, in Germany. At the Wanda Metropolitano, Atleti scored twice in half an hour, but Haller’s curling goal reopened the tie. Can Dortmund turn it around? We’ve looked at the best markets for 22bet!
One thing is for sure, there will be no shortage of motivation and the atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park will be great, with a full house of 81,500 fans waiting to see the teams. Of course, if there’s one team that is used to playing in a noisy and unbelievable atmosphere, it’s Atlético Madrid, and Edin Terzic is confident that, as he has done so many times before, the “Yellow Wall” will be there to help them out.
“Everyone needs to know what it means to play here before we sign him. It’s an incredible experience to play football in front of a crowd like this and we’re very confident that they will help us get another good result on Tuesday night.”
said coach Terzic with determination.
Axel Witsel, who has previously spent years in a Darazsak shirt, compared Signal Iduna Park to their own stadium, pointing out that the first 15 minutes will be crucial. If they can stop Borussia there, it could go a long way towards progressing.
And that is probably Dortmund’s plan, too, to shock their rivals with an early goal, like Atlético, which in this case would level the tie.
In any case, the mood is right as both teams are coming off important victories. Dortmund won away to Glabach and are clinging on to 4th-placed Leipzig, while Atlético were able to turn things around against Girona, taking advantage of Bilbao’s stumble.
As for the absentees, Hermoso, Lemar and Depay remain ailing for the visitors, leaving Diego Simeone to send the same 11 he fielded last week. While for the home side Haller is out injured, Malen could start at home.
We completely agree with the Belgian midfielder from Madrid, it will be very important what happens at the beginning of the game. We’ve already gone round the odds from a penalty-card point of view, so we won’t go into that now, but we’ve got a good idea anyway.
We’re expecting an attacking Dortmund, who managed to take 8 corner kicks in the first leg and are averaging over 6 at home in the Bundesliga. We’re pulling the Germans in at 6.5, and as a slightly brave bet we’re expecting 4 in the first half. Although we suspect an attacking BvB, we would add that Atlético might be able to get away with it, and an away goal (despite the rule being abolished) could be worth a lot here, as scoring at least 2 against Atlético is no easy task.
