Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid preview
This tie - like the others at this stage of the Champions League - is perfectly poised heading into this second leg.
But it didn't look that way for a long time last week when Atleti ran into a 2-0 lead after half an hour through Rodrigo de Paul and Samuel Lino goals.
That half time deficit prompted a response from the Germans in the second half and they halved that task when Sebastien Haller pounced with an 81st minute strike.
Atletico remain odds-on favourites to progress and they've been in this position plenty of times before.
But they've shown some weaknesses in La Liga recently - two defeats from last four games - and the Yellow Wall will be looking for Dortmund to at least win on the night.
And they're favourites to do just that.

Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid betting tips
Going all the way
Like the rest of the quarter final line-up, this one could quite easily go down to the wire.
And Sebastien Haller's late goal in the first leg ensures this one is on a knife edge heading here.
After Atleti's first half dominance, the Germans came into the game in the second period and with a deficit to claw back, we fancy them to just win on the night and take the game to extra time.

Card happy
Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen is enjoying a prolonged spell in the Dortmund team and will surely be catching the eye of Mauricio Pochettino ahead of next season.
He's been booked in the last two Dortmund games - including the first leg - to add to the FOUR picked up in his first seven Dortmund games since the switch in January.
Figured he'd be a short price to pick up a booking here and couldn't believe his price was as high as it is. Great value.
- Ian Maatsen to be carded at 14/5 with William Hill -
Fab Sab
Marcel Sabitzer scored twice in the weekend win over Borussia Monchengladbach - his first competitive goals since he last faced that same team back in November.
The Austrian is averaging 0.87 shots on target per game in the Bundesliga and that average has climbed recently, showing perhaps a tendency to find himself getting further forward.
If coming up against a deep Atletico defence, chances for attempts from range could open up for him here.
- Sabitzer 1+ shot on target at 6/5 with William Hill -
