Why is Atletico Madrid a safe bet to win?

Atletico has lost 2 of their last 5. But the last loss was against Barcelona, a rival. Not only that, but Atletico bounced back after the loss with a nice 2-1 victory over decent Villarreal.

Going back to the Barcelona match, Atletico Madrid let the game get out of hand. We should toss the loss to Barca. If we do, it’s obvious Atletico can beat Dortmund. Madrid ended 2023 Champions League runner-up Internazionale’s title quest in the Round of 16.

Atletico Madrid’s Last 5

• Win: 1-2 vs Villarreal
• Loss: 0-3 vs Barcelona
• Win: 2-1 vs Internazionale
• Loss:2-0 vs Cadiz
• Win: 2-1 vs Real Betis

Why is Borussia Dortmund a safe bet to win?

Dortmund fell to Stuttgart in their last. Ah, but the contest came a game after Dortmund blasted their chief rival, Bayern Munich. For sure, Dortmund was going to bounce after beating Bayern.

So if we throw out Dortmund’s loss in their last, the form looks excellent. Not only did Dortmund beat Bayern, but they got by another rival in Frankfurt in a 3-1 game. Dortmund also beat PSV 2-0 in the Champions League Round of 16.

Possible Line-Up

• Kobel
• Schlotterbeck
• Sule
• Maatsen
• Ryerson
• Can
• Sabitzer
• Malen
• Fullkrug
• Bynoe-Gittens
• Reus

Borussia Dortmund’s Last 5

• Loss: 0-1 vs VfB Stuttgart
• Win: 0-2 vs Bayern Munich
• Win: 3-1 vs Eintracht Frankfurt
• Win: 2-0 vs PSV Eindhoven
• Win: 1-2 vs Werder Bremen

Atletico Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund Betting Prediction

Atletico will be tough to beat at home, but the odds make Dortmund an overlay. Dortmund has been playing well for a while. The Bundesliga squad is in excellent form and, like what is written above, bounced versus a quality opponent in Stuttgart after the victory over Bayern.

So if Dortmund returns to playing their best soccer, they can upset Atletico Madrid. The optimal play is on Dortmund at +0.75 and at -119. But sometimes we must roll the dice on a dog to win a big time match on the road. The odds on Dortmund to win makes the road squad more than playable.
