Home comforts are key for Atletico against Dortmund 

Atletico Madrid scraped through against Inter in the last round but they are an incredibly tough nut to crack at home in the Champions League and that is what Borrusia Dortmund will find out today. Place your bet on the match here.

They are unbeaten in 16 home knockout ties in the competition under Diego Simeone, keeping a clean sheet in 12 of those.

They have conceded just four times at home in the knockout stages of the Champions League under this manager and they are fancied to get the better of Dortmund here.

The visitors have been a difficult team to predict this term and they were a touch fortunate to get the better of PSV Eindhoven in the last round. The away side have also lost eight of their last ten away games in the knockout stages of this competition so it’s worth backing the home team to get the victory.

Atletico’s ability to keep things tight at home in this competition should serve them well and a low-scoring affair may follow, particularly as only one of Dortmund’s eight games in this competition this season have gone over three goals.

What's your reaction?
