AM bounced back in their next, defeating another rival, Villarreal, 1-2 on the road. Atletico Madrid is playing decent soccer and should be the favorite.

But Madrid faces a rising Dortmund side. Throw out the last match loss to Stuttgart. Dortmund faced that rival a game after beating Bayern. Most Bundesliga teams bounce in the game right after beating Bayern Munich.

Dortmund should return to the form that showed them winning 5. 1 of the wins was a nice 2-0 beating of PSV in a Champions League Round of 16 match. Also, the odds on the road squad makes them an overlay.
