In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid will host Borussia Dortmund at their stadium on Wednesday, April 10th. The match forecast for these teams has been prepared by analysts at DailySports.
Atletico Madrid
Unlike their opponents, the Madrid team had significantly more time to prepare for the match. This is because due to the Spanish Cup final being held on the weekend, the La Liga round was not played. So, Atletico last played their match on April 1st away against Villarreal. That match proved to be quite challenging for Atletico, but they managed to snatch a 2-1 victory thanks to Saul's goal in the 87th minute. With that win, Atletico climbed to fourth place in La Liga, but they have 8 rounds ahead and are only 2 points ahead of Athletic Bilbao. In the previous round of the Champions League, Atletico only managed to defeat Inter in a penalty shootout.
Borussia Dortmund
After the sensational victory over Bayern Munich (2-0), Borussia Dortmund played at home against Stuttgart in a special match as the club celebrated the 50th anniversary of their Signal Iduna Park stadium. However, they failed to please the yellow-black fans. Edin Terzic's team created chances with over 2 xG but couldn't score against the opponent's goal. As a result, Borussia Dortmund conceded a goal to Seru Girassi and suffered a 0-1 defeat. Now Borussia Dortmund is in fifth place in the Bundesliga, trailing RB Leipzig on additional metrics. So, the game against Atletico is especially important for Borussia, as Germany has every chance of becoming one of the top two countries in the coefficient table at the end of the season and securing a Champions League spot for the 5th Bundesliga team. In the round of 16 of the Champions League, Germany's vice-champions knocked out PSV.

Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund prediction
