Atalanta vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Atalanta vs Borussia Dortmund

Competition – Champions League

Stadium: Gewiss Stadium

Date: 25th February 2026

Kick-off time – 17:45 GMT

Atalanta host Borussia Dortmund at the Gewiss Stadium on Wednesday evening in the second leg of their Champions League knockout tie, facing a two-goal deficit after losing 2-0 away in Germany in the first leg eight days ago. La Dea need to score at least twice without reply to force extra time, and they will lean on their formidable home record and the passionate Bergamo crowd to fuel what would be a remarkable European comeback. Kick-off is at 17:45 GMT.

Atalanta head into this second leg on the back of a 2-1 home win over Napoli in Serie A on Sunday, a result that underlined their quality and sharpness in front of goal. Prior to that came the 2-0 first leg loss away at Signal Iduna Park. Before that, they won 2-0 away at Lazio in the league and 2-1 at home to Cremonese, with a 3-0 home Coppa Italia win over Juventus also in this sequence. Their domestic form shows a team capable of putting goals on the board, and they will need to replicate that cutting edge on the European stage to have any hope of advancing.

Borussia Dortmund arrive in Italy in fine form, dropping points only in a 2-2 away draw at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday — their most recent outing. Prior to that, they kept that crucial 2-0 clean sheet at home against Atalanta in the first leg. Before that, they won 4-0 at home to Mainz and 1-2 away at VfL Wolfsburg, with a 3-2 home win over 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 also in this run. BVB bring imposing European experience to Bergamo and will look to play on the counter, knowing a single goal could effectively end the tie.

The head-to-head record slightly favours Dortmund, who have won two of the last four meetings with one Atalanta victory and one draw. The most significant result in recent memory is the first leg just eight days ago — a 2-0 home win for BVB. Atalanta’s only win in this H2H run came in a 1-0 away victory in a friendly in August 2017, while Dortmund also won 3-2 at home in the 2018 Europa League.
