Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund: match preview

Having hosted VfB Stuttgart in their Champions League opener in September, Madrid’s second European Game at the Bernabéu again sees them welcome German opposition to the Spanish capital.

Los Blancos beat Stuttgart 3-1 on matchday one - and are in need of another home win. That’s because Carlo Ancelotti‘s men sit 17th in the ’league phase' standings, after an unexpected 1-0 defeat away to Lille in their second Game of the first phase. Only the top eight teams in the 36-team table will qualify automatically for the last 16.

Before facing Dortmund - who they defeated 2-0 in June’s Champions League final - Madrid were 2-1 winners away to Celta Vigo in LaLiga on Saturday. In the Spanish league, Los Merengues lie three points behind leaders Barcelona, who are their next opponents in the domestic top flight.

Meanwhile, Dortmund may be down in seventh in the Bundesliga, but Nuri Sahin’s team are currently top of the Champions League table. The 1997 winners racked up 10 goals in wins over Club Brugge and Celtic, thumping the Scots 7-1 in their most recent European outing.

Ahead of their trip to Spain, Dortmund bounced back from a 2-1 Bundesliga defeat to Union Berlin by beating St Pauli by the same scoreline on Friday. With seven games played in the German top-flight season, BVB are four points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund: prediction

Comfortably the top scorers over the first two matchdays of the Champions League season, Dortmund have made a habit of finding the net in previous visits to the Bernabéu.

Indeed, the Germans scored twice each in three of their last five visits to the Bernabéu. However, they won none of those Games, and we suspect History will repeat itself. Prediction: Real Madrid 3-2 Borussia Dortmund.
