Why this matters:: This match determines which team advances to the Champions League Round of 16. Dortmund's experience in the competition contrasts with Atalanta's relatively limited knockout stage experience.
The first leg saw Dortmund limit Atalanta to few opportunities, but playing at home, Atalanta is expected to be more aggressive. Key players like Éderson and Gianluca Scamacca are likely to return to Atalanta's starting lineup. Dortmund's defense, strengthened by Schlotterbeck's return, will be crucial in containing Atalanta's attack. The predicted lineups are:
Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolašinac; Zappacosta, De Roon, Éderson, Zalewski; Pašalić, Sulemana; Scamacca.
Borussia Dortmund (3-5-2): Kobel; Reggiani, Anton, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Nmecha, Bellingham, Brandt, Svensson; Guirassy, Beier.
