Recent Form Analysis
Atlético Madrid have won three out of their last five games. They currently sit in 4th spot in La Liga. They are 7 points below Girona and just 2 points above Athletic Bilbao. They need to keep winning in La Liga if they want to play in the Champions League next season. Even though they were not so good this season in La Liga, they were great in the Champions League. So far, they have just lost one of their eight Champions League games so far. They currently have 5 wins, 2 draws and only one loss. In the 1/8-Finals, Atlético Madrid had it hard. They lost the first game 0-1 in Milano. In the second leg of the tie, Atlético Madrid had to come back after being 0-1 down. They needed 2 goals to get to the extra time. Diego Simeone made great changes in the second half, and they managed to score 2 goals and get back into the game. Memphis Depay came into the game in the 79th minute and scored in the 87th minute to send them into extra time. Atlético Madrid won the tie after a penalty shootout. We also must mention Antoine Griezmann who is probably having his best season. He is currently the third-best scorer, tied with Mbappé in the Champions League. With his help, we believe that Atlético Madrid could reach the semifinals.
Borussia Dortmund lost their last home game against Stuttgart. However, the game before that, BVB won der Klassiker against Bayern Munich. They played in Munich and dominated in the game, where it seemed like Bayern players lost motivation for the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund is currently sitting at the 5th seed, which would lead them to the Europa League spot. They have the same number of points as Leipzig, who are in 4th spot. It will be an interesting battle for the Champions League spot. A win here tonight would put them one step closer to making the Champions League semifinals for the first time since 2013 when they were in 2nd place. They reached the quarterfinals this year after beating PSV easily in the 1/8-Finals. Borussia took care of the business at home, where they won 2-0 against PSV.
PSG vs Barcelona Best Bet to Make
Atlético Madrid played a great game at home against Inter. We believe that they will repeat that kind of performance tonight as well. Diego Simeone is one of the best coaches in the world, and we believe that he will have a great tactic for tonight. Borussia Dortmund did not show us much this season. They even struggled against PSV in Eindhoven.
That being said, Atlético Madrid winning is a value bet.
