Atalanta – Borussia Dortmund: Atalanta must turn the tie around 
Atalanta need to keep their European run alive in this second leg against Borussia Dortmund. After a 2-0 loss in Germany, only a big performance will flip the script.
Bergamo have shown they can fight back — that important win at the weekend proved it.
Atalanta picking up steam at home 
The first-leg defeat left Atalanta in a awkward position heading into this return. They’ll have to take risks if they’re to claw their way back into the tie.
Still, Raffaele Palladino’s side reacted the right way in the league. That dramatic win over Napoli last weekend has the squad buzzing again.
Home form has been solid too — a few convincing wins and an attack that clicks in front of the fans.
Borussia Dortmund want to protect their lead 
With a 2-0 first-leg win, Dortmund travel with a handy advantage. They’ll aim to stay compact and punish any gaps that appear.
Momentum is with Niko Kovac’s side — they’ve been racking up good results for weeks.
That eye-catching draw with Leipzig last weekend showed Dortmund remain tough to beat, even in open encounters.
Probable lineups
Atalanta : Carnesecchi ; Kossounou, Hien, Ahanor ; Zappacosta, Ederson, De Roon, Bernasconi ; Raspadori, Zalewski ; Krstovic
Dortmund : Kobel ; Sule, Anton, Bensebaini ; Ryerson, Bellingham, Nmecha, Svensson ; Brandt, Beier ; Guirassy
Football Prediction Atalanta vs Borussia Dortmund
Both teams to score
Atalanta will have to attack to get back into the tie and should press from the off.
Dortmund, with their recent attacking form, have the firepower to reply.
In a game likely to be open, both teams to score looks like a sensible play.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It’s our view at a given moment, not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal — and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it isn’t. Yes, you can lose. You will, at some point.
- Be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a pastime, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, making you angry or stressed, step away. If needed, speak to a specialist — that’s what they’re for.
- In the end, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk remains, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your local laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need help? Players Info Service: 09 74 75 13 13 (non-premium rate) https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. In plain terms: you can’t make a legal claim if a bet loses.
Information can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Between now and kick-off a team sheet can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn — and the analysis can become outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
