Real Madrid host Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in what looks to be a classic Champions League match. Last Season, Los Blancos beat Dortmund in the final to claim their 15th Champions League trophy. The Germans will want revenge and where better to do it than on Real’s home turf? We’re predicting goals in this one with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Match Goals at 1.72.
In what is becoming an iconic Champions League fixture, if the head to head record is anything to go by, we should be in for a cracker. Four of the last five meetings have seen our pick land dating back to when Cristiano Ronaldo played for Real Madrid.
From one super star to another, Kylian Mbappe will be looking to score again after bagging against Celta Vigo on his return from injury. However, with Saturday’s El Clasico on the minds of Real Madrid players, will they be able to focus on controlling a free scoring Dortmund side?
Borussia Dortmund have started the Champions League campaign with real intent winning their first two games including a resounding 7-1 victory against Celtic. They also cruised to victory against Club Brugge away from home. Their strike partnership of Serhou Guirassy and Karim Adeyemi who have both scored three each will cause Real Madrid’s defence major issues especially without Dani Carvajal who is out for the season after picking up a serious injury.
Madrid have also only kept one clean sheet in their last seven games in all competitions and were shocked by Lille in their previous Champions League game, they will need to win if they are to climb up the Champions League table and join their opponents Borussia Dortmund near the top.
