As the UEFA Champions League returns, all eyes will be on the Santiago Bernabéu as Real Madrid hosts Borussia Dortmund in a highly anticipated rematch of last season’s final. Following a disappointing defeat to Lille, Carlo Ancelotti's side bounced back with two domestic victories, while Dortmund seeks to continue their perfect start in the competition. With both teams eager to assert their dominance, this clash promises to be an exciting encounter. Read on for our Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction.
Both teams come into this match with distinct tactics shaped by their recent performances. Real Madrid will aim to dominate possession and exploit the pace of their attacking players, particularly Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund will look to utilize their counter-attacking prowess, leveraging the goal-scoring form of Serhou Guirassy, who has been a standout performer in recent weeks.
Real Madrid - Team News
Real Madrid currently sits second in La Liga and began their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win over Stuttgart but suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat to Lille. Ancelotti’s side has shown resilience in domestic matches, securing victories over Villarreal and Celta Vigo, thanks to a dynamic attacking trio of Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Rodrygo. However, injuries to key players like David Alaba and Dani Carvajal could hinder their defensive organization.
Real Madrid’s home form remains strong, but the absence of experienced defenders raises concerns. They will need to tighten their defense against a potent Dortmund attack. Ancelotti’s squad is known for their ability to perform under pressure, and they will aim to capitalize on their home advantage in this crucial matchup.
With Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. both scoring in their last match against Celta Vigo, the duo will be vital in breaking down Dortmund's defense. The pressure is on Real Madrid to bounce back from their defeat and assert their dominance at home.
Borussia Dortmund - Team News
Borussia Dortmund heads into this match full of confidence following a solid 2-1 victory over St. Pauli, with Serhou Guirassy netting his seventh goal in seven games since joining the club. The Black and Yellows have made a strong start in the Champions League, achieving a commanding 3-0 win over Club Brugge and a 7-1 thrashing of Celtic, making them one of the highest-scoring teams this season.
Despite some inconsistencies in their Bundesliga performances, Dortmund’s attacking flair has shone brightly in European competition. They currently sit atop their Champions League group, and coach Nuri Şahin will be keen to build on this momentum. However, Dortmund has struggled away from home in the Bundesliga, making a strong performance in Madrid a crucial test for their credentials.
In terms of player availability, Dortmund will be missing several key figures, including Karim Adeyemi and Gio Reyna, but they still have enough firepower to challenge Real Madrid. The return of Niklas Süle from illness will bolster their defense, and if goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is fit, it could provide a significant boost to their chances.
