Borussia Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid lineups, team news

Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic will make a late check on Jadon Sancho but the Manchester United loanee is expected to shake off a minor knock. Sebastien Haller's goal off the bench kept Dortmund in the contest in Madrid but the former West Ham United forward is ruled out with an ankle injury.

Borussia Dortmund predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Kobel (GK) — Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Maatsen — Sabitzer, Can — Sancho, Reus, Adeyemi — Fullkrug.

Memphis Depay remains sidelined for Atletico Madrid and Samuel Lino serves a one-game suspension. Mario Hermoso could replace Lino with Saul Niguez asked to cover at left wing-back.

Atletico Madrid predicted XI (3-5-2 right to left): Oblak (GK) — Witsel, Gimenez, Hermoso — Llorente, Koke, De Paul, Barrios, Niguez — Griezmann, Morata.

Borussia Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid prediction

Atletico Madrid's first-leg performance warranted a win as they dominated the majority of the game in the Spanish capital. However, they missed key chances late on to allow for Dortmund to rally.

Dortmund have a slight form edge, with six wins from their last eight, compared to Atletico's five in eight, but a draw will be enough for Simeone's visitors to progress on into the semifinals.

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Atletico Madrid
