Borussia Dortmund vs Atalanta: Champions League preview

Knock-out round home advantage went the way of the Bergamo side, who won four of their league phase matches against Club Brugge, Marseille, Eintracht Frankfurt and Chelsea.

Head coach Raffaele Palladino has La Dea in the hunt for a Europa League spot via Serie A in his first season at Atalanta but a Champions League place is starting to look out of reach.

Palladino was installed in November after another spectacularly short managerial stint for Ivan Juric and has made a positive start in the league. Now, his brief is to capitalise on a very presentable opportunity in Europe.

Dortmund missed out on a top 16 berth in the league phase by a single point. They were beaten at home in their eighth game by blue and black Italian opposition, Inter Milan on that occasion, when a win would have taken the 1997 winners above them.

Newly appointed Niko Kovac took BVB to the quarter-finals last season. There, they were beaten over two legs by Barcelona after dispatching Sporting CP and Lille in their first couple of knock-out ties.

This time around, Dortmund or Atalanta will face either Arsenal or Bayern Munich in the round of 16.

Atalanta fell at this stage last season, defeated in each leg by the now-familiar Club Brugge. They avenged a 5-2 aggregate loss this season and if they were to meet again in 2025-26 it would be in the final. Imagine!

FourFourTwo's prediction

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Atalanta

This tie is too close to call but we're backing Dortmund to take a slight advantage into the second leg in Italy.
