Current form Borussia Dortmund
Like Leipzig, BVB seems to become more and more stable in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the Stöger-Elf has improved to third place in the German Bundesliga and so the chance to Champions League participation in the upcoming season can preserve. Also one is still unbeaten since the assumption of office of the ex-Cologne coach in the championship. This balance was with the victories last against the 1. FC Cologne (3: 2) and last weekend against the Hamburger SV (2: 0) cleared up, it had previously given 3 draws in series. All in all, it is still unbeaten in 2018 in the German Bundesliga. With Atalanta, however, an opponent comes into the Signal Iduna Park, which is certainly more assessable than the two relegation candidates who had in the last two rounds to the opponent. Accordingly, we again need a strong offensive performance. The Stoeger Elf showed almost the same in the last few weeks almost exclusively, at least the goal exploded absolutely. The game against Hamburg was already the third in a row, in which BVB scored two or more goals within 90 minutes. It seems to have found a striker with Michy Batshuayi, who works as well as his predecessor Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Belgian loaned by Chelsea is for us also on Thursday the hottest in terms of goalscoring, we would recommend a similar. In his previous two missions, the loan has met 3 times and is well on the way to soon be ranked second best scorer. He also hides the lack of a number of other offensive actors: So on Thursday Jadon Sancho, Shinji Kagawa and Maximilian Philipp are not available, and Andriy Yarmolenko is currently battered. Defensively, the failures of Rode, Guerero, Schmelzer and Durm are added. So far, the international season has not gone according to plan for BVB: In the group stage of the Champions League, they could not celebrate a single victory, 2 draws against underdog APOEL Nicosia were the highest of emotions. The fact is: Dortmund is currently not beautiful, but enormously effective, certainly a difference to the fall season. In addition, they have been able to achieve strong 27 league goals in 11 home games. Also succeeded so far in every international game 2017/2018 at least one hit. The current efficiency can also be read from the statistics of the duel with Hamburg. While HSV was unable to use either of his two good finishes, Dortmund netted twice in only 90 minutes in the 90 minutes.

Current form Atalanta Bergamo
Atalanta Bergamo was in the preseason in Serie A the big surprise. This year, too, they are sending in a message in the fight for the international starting places. Bergamo is currently ranked 8th in the table with 37 points, just one point behind AC Milan’s trophy team and only 4 points behind an international starting position. Accordingly, one can go completely relaxed in the encounters with BVB, because with the descent Bergamo will have absolutely nothing to do in this season. There are also strong results in recent weeks. Atalanta has been unbeaten in 3 games and lost only 2 out of the last 11 games. Most recently there were victories against Sassuolo (3-0) and Chievo Verona (1-0), but last weekend they had to settle for FC Crotone with a 1-1 draw. Accordingly, we see the strengths of the Italians currently on the defensive. Only a goal in the last 270 league minutes serves as evidence of this fact. In fact, you have never suffered more than one goal in the last 5 Serie A games. The results in the group phase of the Europa League can also be seen more than just. Atalanta have been unbeaten in 6 international matches so they have not lost a single group match, although Lyon and Everton were two tough opponents. However, if Bergamo dropped points, then invariably in away games. This is what happened in the two 1-1 draw against Lyon and against Underdog Limassol. Strong: Bergamo also scored at least one goal in every single international appearance this season. Accordingly, one could give a bet tip on at least one hit for both teams also on Thursday. In any case, it would also be interesting to bet on less than 2.5 goals, but this value was exceeded only in one of the last 4 league games of the Italians. Personally, we see the men of Gian Piero Gasperini in front of Dortmund relatively clear advantage, we are currently no injuries or barriers known. In general, Atalanta has not finished a single game as a loser in the month of February. Even in the last two defeats, we see something positive: These came against Napoli and Juventus Turin and thus against the absolute top teams of Serie A, Bergamo lost only just with 0: 1.

Our Prediction: Dortmund win @ 1.83
