Preview: Atalanta vs Dortmund
Atalanta hosts Borussia Dortmund at the Gewiss Stadium for a high-stakes Champions League clash on February 25, 2026, with Dortmund aiming to defend a two-goal first-leg advantage. Under Niko Kovač, Dortmund enters in stellar form, having recently secured a commanding 4-0 win against Mainz, while Raffaele Palladino’s Atalanta side looks to utilize their home advantage in Bergamo to mount a comeback despite inconsistency in the competition. This match represents a tactical battle, with Atalanta needing to attack and break down a composed Dortmund side that thrives on punishing opponents in transition. Dortmund’s focus will be on maintaining discipline, avoiding mental lapses with a major Bundesliga clash looming against Bayern Munich. The German side, having advanced through the league phase with significant attacking output (19 goals), is banking on the form of players like Serhou Guirassy and a refreshed squad, notes UEFA.com. Conversely, Atalanta must cope with significant injury concerns, particularly the absence of Charles De Ketelaere, forcing adjustments in their 3-4-2-1 formation to find the necessary goals without leaving themselves vulnerable at the back, says FotMob.

The historical precedent favors Dortmund, with the German side winning 4-3 on aggregate when they last met in 2018, according to Yahoo Sports. While Atalanta has shown resilience under Palladino, losing only 5 of their last 20 games, the pressure of a two-goal deficit, combined with their 3 consecutive losses in recent Champions League play, makes this a daunting challenge, reports Goal.com. Both teams are expected to battle fiercely, with the crowd at the Gewiss Stadium potentially playing a role in a high-intensity matchup.
