Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund predictions

Two of the Champions League's unfancied clubs collide at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday as Atletico Madrid host Borussia Dortmund and a cagey contest could be on the cards.

It is fair to say both of these clubs have had more success on the continent than domestically this campaign.

Atleti are 17 points off top spot in La Liga but went unbeaten during the Champions League group stage and knocked out last season's runners-up Inter in the last 16.

Finishing in the top four of the Bundesliga is the primary goal for Dortmund in an underwhelming campaign but in Europe they topped a group featuring Paris St-Germain, Milan and Newcastle before overcoming PSV 3-1 on aggregate in their first knockout tie.

That said, neither side are fancied to go the distance – Atletico are 12-1 and Borussia Dortmund 25-1 in the outright betting.

Dortmund have the advantage of an almost full-strength squad to call upon while Atletico Madrid should be a little fresher after a nine-day break.

But Diego Simeone's men have posted only four wins in their last 12 games and they do not have the same fear factor at home which they have had in the past.

This is the third time in five years Atletico have reached this stage of the Champions League but they have not gone beyond the quarter-finals since 2016-17.

Dortmund, meanwhile, are targeting a first appearance in the semi-finals since 2012-13.

They pulled off a huge Der Klassiker triumph over Bayern Munich in their most recent road trip but followed it up with a 1-0 defeat at home to Stuttgart on Saturday.

It is therefore hard to make a strong case for either club given their inconsistencies and the draw looks the best bet.

But goals could also be at a premium and backing no goalscorer could appeal to some punters.

Both teams have scored in only two of Dortmund's last six fixtures and both legs of their last-16 tie with PSV were evenly poised.

Atletico are not the impenetrable juggernauts they once were under Simeone but they nonetheless made life tough for Inter in the last 16, edging it on penalties after the tie finished 2-2.

Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund bet builder predictions

Under 2.5 goals
This could be a tight contest and under 2.5 goals, which has clicked in four of Borussia Dortmund's last six games, is a worthwhile pick.

Mats Hummels to be booked
Mats Hummels could have his hands full up against Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata, and has been booked four times in the Bundesliga this term.

Antoine Griezmann to have a shot on target
Antoine Griezmann has scored six goals in the Champions League this season and is worth selecting to steer a shot on target.
