Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips [22 October 2024]

Real Madrid will host Borussia Dortmund in Madrid in the third round of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. This will mark a repeat of last season’s final, Dortmund seeking revenge and Madrid eyeing an extension to their dominance. Here are some stats and a prediction for the match. 

Real Madrid clinched their 15th Champions League title courtesy of a 2-0 win over Dortmund in their last meeting. That was a routine win for Real, who have really dominated this fixture. 

Ahead of this match, Real posted two straight wins, rising from their 1-0 loss to Lille on Match Day 2. 

Borussia Dortmund have met Real Madrid five times in the course of the last eight years. They haven't won any of the matches, and lost each of the last three.

The most painful of them was in the final last season, a game in which they had enough chances to win. Dortmund prepped for this game with a labored 2-1 win over St. Pauli in their domestic league. 

Having won both matches in the past round and with a massive margin, the Germans top the standings. They will be keen on staying top and a win here could ensure that.

Real Madrid will feel like the favorites given their head-to-head dominance in this fixture, but Dortmund will not give in easily. The Germans are eyeing revenge after the loss in the final and will know they must attack and use their chances.

Backed by a good scoring run, the visitors will feel they have a chance here. Real Madrid haven't lost but aren’t keeping clean sheets consistently either. Our prediction for Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund is for both teams to score.
