Monaco vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
In the Champions League, this week will continue directly with the return games in the quarter-finals. On Wednesday, April 19 at 19:45 at the stadium Louis II, the match between AS Monaco and Borussia Dortmund will take place. Here the Monegassen surely have an advantage after the first leg last week, but the Dortmunder will still try everything in the Principality.
Monaco :
At the club AS Monaco, this season is a great success, and the team of coach Leonardo Jardim is currently still in the French Ligue 1 ahead of the financial Paris Saint Germain at the Tabellenspitze. At the weekend the Monegassen had to play against FCO Dijon on Saturday night and the 2-1 lead in the league ended up 3 points ahead of Paris. Earlier, AS Monaco’s Angers SCO match was a problem in the French league, but it was enough to make a 1: 0 victory in the end thanks to a Radam Falcao goal. In the Champions League the Monegassen were already in the round of the last 16 for a knockout, because it was certainly not to be expected that Monaco would prevail against Manchester City.
In Manchester, there was also a 5-1 defeat, but in the home game the team of Leonardo Jardim could deliver a great game and after a 3-1 home win still qualify for the quarterfinals in the royal class. The first leg in Dortmund was then postponed for one day due to a strike on the Dortmund team coach. In this game the AS Monaco might also use the understandable uncertainty among the hosts, especially in the initial phase, and were already in the lead after a goal by Kylian Mbappe and an own goal from Dortmund to the break with 2-0. After a goal in the second round, it was once again Mbappe, who could restore the old 2 goals by his goal. In the final phase of the match Danijel Subasic then had yet another contender, but nevertheless, from the point of view of Monaco, a 3: 2 away win.
At the AS Monaco, the coach has a couple of staff and is probably missing the injured Guido Marcelo Carrillo and Gabriel Boschilia. Definitely will be missing his team because of his lock Fabinho.
Provisional lineup: Subasic; Mendy, Raggi, Jemerson, Sidibe; Bakayoko, Fabinho; Mbappe, Lemar, Silva; Falcao
Dortmund :
Borussia Dortmund have once again no chance in the Bundesliga to play a decisive role in the fight for the championship. How far the gap to FC Bayern München this season is once again, the Dortmunder got the last sensation in the Allianz Arena. In the Bavarian capital the team of coach Thomas Tuchel did not have the touch of a chance and had to be at the end with 4: 1 clearly defeated. On Saturday, Borussia Dortmund had to go back to the league for the first time after the attack on the team coach, showing a good performance in spite of the recent events. After the final whistle, he was able to celebrate a 3: 1 victory with his own spectators at Signal Iduna Park. The attack on the team coach, with Marc Bartra even a player seriously injured, had occurred on 11 April shortly before the planned Champions League match against the AS Monaco.
The quarterfinal game was postponed by one day and last Wednesday. Just at the beginning of the match, the Dortmund team was, of course, still very shocked and perhaps for this reason, too, a 2: 0 lead to the half-time break. In the second round after the meeting of Ousmane Dembele a little hope arose again with the Borussen. But at the latest after another 3-1 conceding for Monaco, it was clear that there would probably be a defeat in this first leg. A few minutes before the final whistle Shinji Kagawa at least shortened to 3: 2, so that Borussia Dortmund despite the Heimpleite not quite chancenlos to Monaco must travel.
Coach Thomas Tuchel has to do without Marc Bartra injured in the attack and there are a lot of other players, who are at least questionable because of an injury or illness. These include, for example, Sebastian Rode, Christian Pulisic, Nuri Sahin and Emre Mor.
Provisional lineup: Bürki; Ginter, Sokratis, Bartra; Smelter; Weigl; Castro, Piszczek; Dembele, Pulisic; Aubameyang
