Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions
A repeat of last season’s UEFA Champions league final is on the cards as defending champions Real Madrid take on German side Borussia Dortmund. Los Blancos welcome BVB to Madrid for their Match Day 3 encounter on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu. This will be the most eye-catching clash of the round and we have a preview and a prediction.
The match finds Dortmund leading the standings with Real Madrid in 17th spot. The hosts had a rare stumble in their last outing in this competition away in France. However, they banked two wins in matches that have come after that defeat and will be fired up for this one.
Real Madrid won 2-0 in the last contest between these two sides, in the 2023/24 final. It was their third straight win and fifth unbeaten against Dortmund. The Germans will hope to take this chance to avenge the painful loss in the final while they eye a first win over Real since 2014.

Real Madrid - Borussia Dortmund: Form Analysis
Real Madrid bounced back after their 1-0 loss to Lille in the last round of the Champions League with back-to-back wins. The most recent of those was on Saturday as they saw off Celta Vigo 2-1 away from home.
After their first loss in 15 Champions League matches, history backs Real Madrid going into this game. The Spanish giants haven't lost a home game in this competition since April 2022.
Three times in that run, they faced German opposition and won twice. With one loss in 39 matches, and a good run against Dortmund, there’s really little to fault Real’s placing as favorites here.
Real Madrid have dominated recent meetings with Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund had a great run in the Champions League last season, until they were stopped by Real Madrid in the final. That 2-0 defeat was another stark reminder of the gulf in quality between these teams.
Now the Germans have a chance to dent Real Madrid’s ambitions while elevating their own. Two wins in two and a fine scoring form have Dortmund on top of the league phase standings. In the most recent, they thrashed Celtic 7-1.
Coming from a 2-1 win over St. Pauli in the Bundesliga is a good warmup for Dortmund. They have two losses in the last 14 Champions League matches, both inflicted by Spanish teams.

Real Madrid & Borussia Dortmund Squad Analysis
Real Madrid have been hit by injuries in recent weeks but Carlo Ancelotti has scraped through with the available men. Kylian Mbappe recovered from a muscular problem that saw him miss the international week.
The hosts are, however, forced to do without Brahim Diaz who is nursing a muscular injury too. David Alaba and Dani Carvajal remain long term absentees with knee injuries.
In Carvajal’s absence, Lucas Vazquez has been deployed as right-back and he is doing well so far.
Both Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are set to miss key players.
At Dortmund, Karim Adeyeni, the hat trick hero against Celtic will miss this match. He suffered a hamstring injury in the game and is expected to be out until late November.
Also missing this game is Julien Duranville, who has a thigh injury, as well as Gio Reyna and Yan Couto. After being subbed during the St. Pauli win, Pascal Gross is listed as doubtful for this match.

Our Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Injuries have disrupted Real Madrid’s flow and they come into this game mostly affected in defence. This has been to blame for the few clean sheets Los Blancos have kept lately. There can’t be much fault placed on their attack though, as they failed to score just once in 13 matches this season.
As a result, we’ve seen both teams score in most of their matches. That run is consistent with a majority of the matches pitting these two sides. In their attacking strength, Dortmund will seek to take advantage of Madrid’s weaknesses but they have their own too. Our prediction for Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund is for both teams to score.
