Atalanta v Dortmund Match Preview

Atalanta v Borussia Dortmund Tips, Predictions and 8/1 Bet Builder

25 February – 17:45 | New Balance Arena (Bergamo)

UEFA Champions League


Atalanta v Borussia Dortmund Preview

Atalanta BC must produce a stirring comeback in Bergamo as they attempt to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit against Borussia Dortmund.

Despite finishing above Dortmund in the league phase and earning home advantage for the second leg, Atalanta were outmanoeuvred in Germany and now face a significant challenge to keep their European campaign alive.

Domestically, La Dea have been superb in 2026, going unbeaten across all competitions this calendar year (W8 D2). Gian Piero Palladino’s side have combined defensive solidity with attacking fluidity, and the Gewiss Stadium has become a difficult venue for visiting sides.

However, European knockout football presents a different test. Atalanta must strike the balance between urgency and control — conceding an away goal could effectively end the tie.

Dortmund, meanwhile, continue to underline their continental pedigree. The 1997 champions have reached the last 16 in six of the last seven seasons and rarely falter at this stage. Although their away record in Italy is mixed — losing five of their last eight visits — they hold a commanding aggregate lead.

Serhou Guirassy has been instrumental in Europe, registering 24 goal involvements in just 23 Champions League appearances. With pace in transition and composure in key moments, BVB are built to exploit chasing opponents.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Atalanta remain without Giacomo Raspadori and Charles De Ketelaere — a creative loss given the Belgian’s six goal involvements in the league phase. Ederson is expected to return after a minor issue, while Gianluca Scamacca may start up front in place of Nikola Krstovic.

Dortmund could welcome Nico Schlotterbeck back after injury, though match sharpness remains a question. Emre Can and Niklas Süle are still doubts, while Guirassy leads the line once again.

Atalanta possible XI:
Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Djimsiti, Ahanor; Zappacosta, Ederson, De Roon, Bernasconi; Pasalic, Zalewski; Scamacca

Borussia Dortmund possible XI:
Kobel; Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Nmecha, Bellingham, Svensson; Brandt, Beier; Guirassy

Atalanta v Dortmund Prediction

Atalanta’s home form suggests they can make this competitive, but Dortmund’s experienceand attacking efficiency should prove decisive over the two legs.
