Simeone’s masterclass incoming
Atletico Madrid might feel slightly annoyed after conceding a late goal and not being able to take a two-goal lead to Germany. However, Diego Simeone is always the mastermind behind knowing how to get a result away in Europe and will once again strive to replicate that.
Dortmund were second-best all evening in Spain. Although Atletico Madrid has been very strong at home this season, Dortmund will struggle to break them down once again.
A more defensive display is expected from the visitors, yet they remain the favourites to go through. If they frustrate the hosts, they can squeeze through to the semi-finals.
Bet 1: Back the draw @ 3.65 with Bet9ja
Goals at a premium
Although the first leg produced three goals, Simone will be aiming to set his team up defensively for the crucial fixture in Germany. If there is one coach who knows how to “park the bus”, it certainly is the Argentine.
The Spanish side will no doubt aim to slow the game down and only attack when the opportunity is right for them. Don’t expect Atletico Madrid to take too many risks with a place in the semi-finals on the line.
Dortmund struggled in Spain and had previously lost to Stuttgart 1-0 at home. Therefore, goals may be hard to come by for the hosts. At odds against, this seems like a great price worth taking.
Bet 2: Back under 2.5 goals @ 2.23 with Bet9ja
Stalemate at half-time
Predicting the match to finish in a draw, the same result at halftime appears too good to turn down at its current price.
In Dortmund’s last two home matches against Stuttgart and Frankfurt, both were level at half-time before going on to completely different results. The hosts can occasionally be slow starters or often need half-time to regroup and go again.
Atletico Madrid’s away record isn’t anything impressive at the moment, but Simeone will be aware of that and won’t be taking any risks. They were tied 0-0 at half-time away to Inter in the round of 16 before scoring in the second period.
Bet 3: Back half-time draw @ 2.26 with Bet9ja
Correct score at a big price
For those fancying a bigger price, it’s worth backing the match to finish 1-1. With a draw priced at 3.65, you can get double the odds on both teams to score, with the match finishing the same way.
Dortmund haven’t gone further than the quarter-finals in the Champions League for a long time, and we’ve already spoken about Diego Simone’s experience in this competition.
Atletico Madrid have drawn two of their last five away matches in the Champions League and this could be another one.
