The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals heat up as Borussia Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid clash in the second leg at their home stadium. This clash promises to be a nail-biting encounter, with both teams desperate for a win to secure their place in the coveted semifinals.

Their Recent Perfromance

Dortmund currently faces a double challenge. In the Bundesliga, Edin Terzic's men sit precariously in fifth place, a position that doesn't guarantee Champions League qualification next season. Their hopes depend on Germany potentially overtaking England in the UEFA coefficient ranking, which would grant an additional Champions League spot. Dortmund's recent 2-1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach, despite playing a man down for most of the game, serves as a testament to their fighting spirit. This win also prevented RB Leipzig from extending their lead in the domestic league.

While not yet assured of a top-four finish in LaLiga, Atletico Madrid finds itself in a more comfortable position compared to Dortmund. Diego Simeone's side sits ahead of Athletic Bilbao in the standings. Over the weekend, Atletico displayed their resilience by coming from behind to secure a crucial 3-1 victory against Girona. Antoine Griezmann's goal after halftime sealed the deal for the Colchoneros.

Histroy And Prediction On Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid

The first leg of this Champions League encounter saw Atletico claim a narrow 2-1 victory on home soil. However, history suggests a potential upset brewing in Dortmund. The last time these teams met at Signal Iduna Park, in the 2018/19 season, Borussia Dortmund thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0. Interestingly, Atletico has only managed one victory in Dortmund throughout their historical clashes.

While Atletico Madrid boasts impressive recent form and appears to be the more convincing team on paper vs Dortmund in their passionate home stadium adds an element of unpredictability. This second leg promises to be a tense and tightly contested affair, with both teams leaving everything on the pitch for a coveted Champions League semifinal spot.
