Atletico will welcome Dortmund to the Wanda Metropolitano for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday night.
Atletico have impressed in the Champions League this season. The hosts went unbeaten in the group stages, beating Lazio, Feyenoord and Celtic to top Group E. Diego Simeone’s side then progressed to this stage of the competition by knocking out a high-flying Inter side on penalties.
Like Atletico, Dortmund also topped their Champions League group. The visitors were drawn into the competition’s ‘Group of Death’, which involved PSG, AC Milan and Newcastle. Edin Terzic’s side comfortably reached the quarter-finals, beating PSV 3-1 on aggregate.
This will be the first time the two sides have met in this competition since 2018. The last clash between the pairing saw Atletico win 2-0 at home.
These Atletico Madrid v Dortmund stats will provide an insight into what to expect from this meeting. If you plan to place a bet builder on this game, this is the place to find some shrewd tips.

There have been masses of goals in Champions League matches at the Metropolitano this season, with an average of 4 goals being scored per match thus far. The hosts have impressed going forward across these matches, scoring an average of 3.25 goals per match; however, they have not been perfect defensively, conceding an average of 0.75.
Dortmund’s away matches in this competition have also seen their fair share of goals this campaign, with an average of 2.25 goals per game flying in so far.
In this season’s Champions League, a minimum of two goals have been scored in all four of Atletico’s home matches.
We expect a tally of two goals to be matched or exceeded here, with a price of 1.29 available for this selection.
Predictions:
⚽ Over 1.5 goals @ 1.29
🎯 Shooting stats: A busy night for Dortmund’s keeper
Atletico have looked dangerous going forward in the Champions League, registering an average of 5.1 shots on target per game so far. This average has been even higher in their home matches, with Simeone’s men taking an average of 7 shots on target per home match.
One player that has been a key contributor to this is Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman, who has netted in all of his four home starts in the Champions League this season, has taken an average of 1.75 accurate shots per home match.
Griezmann and Atletico will be hoping to capitalise on a Dortmund defence that has allowed an average of 4.25 shots on target per away game in this season’s competition.
The bookies are providing value of 1.30 for the hosts to take a minimum of five shots on target here, and a price of 1.29 for Griezmann to find the target at least once.
Predictions:
🔄️⚽ Antoine Griezmann to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.29
⚽ Atletico Madrid to have 5+ shots on target @ 1.30
🚩 Corners stats: Both sides to force plenty of corners
Atletico have taken a fair number of corners in this competition so far, earning an average of 6 corners per game. The hosts have also been susceptible to conceding corners, facing an average of 5.5 corners per match.
Dortmund have forced an abundance of corners across their Champions League away fixtures this season. So far, the visitors have earned an average 5.25 corners per game. Terzic’s men have also conceded plenty of corners, leaking an average of 8.75 corners per match thus far.
Atletico’s home outings in the Champions League have seen an average of 11.5 corners per game, while Dortmund’s away matches have seen an average of 14.
A price of 1.36 is available for a minimum of nine corners to be taken here, with value of 1.65 being provided for a greater tally of ten to, at least, be matched here.
Predictions:
⚽ Over 8.5 total corners @ 1.36
⚽ Over 9.5 total corners @ 1.65
🛑 Fouls stats: De Paul to get stuck in
Atletico have committed masses of fouls in the Champions League this season, fouling an average of 11.8 times per game. This average has been even higher at home, with the hosts committing an average of 12.75 fouls per home match.
Dortmund have clearly made it difficult for their opponents to stay on the good side of the referee, with their opponents fouling an average of 8.5 times per game across their four Champions League away matches.
One player that has been a persistent culprit for Atletico has been Rodrigo de Paul. The Argentinian midfielder has struggled to keep things clean on home soil, fouling an average of 1.91 times per game across his last 11 home starts in all competitions.
The World Cup winner will most likely be tasked with shutting out Karim Adeyemi down Atleti’s right-hand side. The German international has proven to be a nuisance for rival defenders this season, averaging just shy of two fouls drawn per league game (1.98).
The bookies are offering 1.30 for de Paul, who has committed at least one foul in ten of his last 11 home starts, to commit one or more fouls, with value of 2.40 available for the Argentine to commit a minimum of two here.
Predictions:
🔄️⚽ Rodrigo De Paul to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.30
🔄️⚽ Rodrigo De Paul to commit 2+ fouls @ 2.40
