Borussia Dortmund welcome Atalanta to Signal Iduna Park in a crucial Champions League showdown, with both teams looking to strengthen their position in the competition. Dortmund currently sit 17th in the Bundesliga standings with 11 points from 8 games, while Atalanta occupy 15th place in Serie A with 13 points. The narrow gap of just 2 points between the two sides suggests this could be a closely contested affair, with both teams desperate to pick up a vital three points.
Dortmund have endured a difficult start to the season, struggling to find consistency and leaving them languishing in the lower reaches of the Bundesliga table. However, they will be buoyed by their impressive European form, having navigated a tricky group stage to reach the knockout rounds. Atalanta, on the other hand, have been more impressive in the league, but have found the Champions League a tougher challenge. The Italian side will be eager to make amends for their earlier group stage exit and secure a positive result against their German opponents.
