Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund: match preview

Having hosted VfB Stuttgart in their Champions League opener in September, Madrid again welcome German opposition to the Spanish capital.

And having beaten Stuttgart 3-1 on matchday one, Los Blancos are in need of another win at the Bernabéu: 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 visit Celta Vigo in LaLiga on Saturday October 19. In the Spanish league, Los Merengues lie three points behind leaders Barcelona, who are their following 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 host St Pauli in the Bundesliga on Friday. After losing 2-1 to Union Berlin in their last league game before the international break, BVB are four points adrift of top team 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.
