Champions League: Atalanta vs Dortmund 25/02/2026

Betting on Goals

Second match after the 2-0 in Westphalia, which leaves open the possibility of a comeback by the capable home side against the often unpredictable visitors. Statistically in the Champions League such a comeback is difficult, but nothing should be ruled out.

Atalanta have in fact failed every time they have needed to overturn such a score in knockout two leg ties. However, they are certainly a team that will fight for it. A few days ago they turned the score around at home against Napoli from 0-1 to 2-1, they have character and attacking power to hurt the occasionally insecure German defense. They have consecutive wins in Bergamo and will methodically try to level the aggregate score. The question is how they will keep a clean sheet at the back.

Because Dortmund look in excellent attacking form, they are not a team that sits back and they will exploit the risks of the hosts who – if not from the start – will open up at some point in the match. On Saturday they escaped with a 2-2 draw in Leipzig, they rarely fail to score and will find plenty of chances given the current balance of the tie after the 2-0 in the first game.

A match that can easily open up and deliver goals, spectacle and perhaps suspense until the end. The price on the simple both teams to score is favorite and rightly so by the bookmakers, but at the same time it allows betting value
