This is perhaps the most interesting game of the week in the Champions League as these two teams who have made it to the final at least once in this decade go head to head in a double clash that will determine who tops this group ahead of the knockout rounds.
Borussia Dortmund are flying this season. They currently play one of the most attractive brand of attacking football and they are on course to challenge for the Bundesliga title again this season. They top the German league standings with three points, and they have won both of their Champions League games before this clash.
Atletico Madrid could not qualify for the knockout round of the Champions League last season, but they have won both of their matches so far, including a first away win in 6 attempts in the Champions League. A draw won’t be a bad result for any of the teams and we expect Atletico to be defensively solid in this game.
Diego Simeone’s men have lost just three of their last 25 Champions League games, and they kept 16 clean sheets in those matches as well.
Dortmund are scoring for fun in the German top flight, but they have scored just 4 goals from 8 shots on target in the Champions League this season, and they should face an even stronger opposition from Atleti in this game.
