Match Preview

Zinedine Zidane’s men are showing some faint signs of improvement, ahead of our Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund preview and soccer odds, with Cristiano Ronaldo and company starting to flex their offensive muscles a little.

Real Madrid come into this Group H game needing three points, with Tottenham leading the pack and looking in good shape to remain there. All that Los Blancos can do is win and keep their end of the deal to keep the pressure on Mauricio Pochettino’s men.

Our Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund predictions back the hosts to maintain their improving form, with Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo starting to look more confident. Peter Bosz is under pressure heading into our Champions League tips.

Borussia Dortmund will be reeling after throwing a four-goal lead against local rivals Schalke not too long ago, with Die Schwarzgelben’s season definitely hanging in the balance at the moment due to their defensive frailties.

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Advice

The hosts have looked quite shaky at the back lately in both the league and Europe, with Malaga managing to rattle Los Blancos considerably. The return of Keylor Navas in goal will be a huge boost, as Kiko Casilla has been underperforming of late, and Borussia Dortmund definitely have the offensive talent and pace to cause Zidane’s men issues.

Coral offer the best value on both teams finding the back of the net, but Real Madrid coming out with the three points in Group H. No other result will do for the hosts, as they have Spurs to catch. Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema got back among the goals against APOEL and will want to continue in the same vein.

Dortmund have kept just one clean sheet since mid-September, with Los Blancos definitely, have the tools to do them damage. Bosz has come under a lot of pressure recently, not least down to his side’s performance against rivals Schalke. If the latter can score four against them, Zidane’s men should be licking their lips with glee.

Our Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund bets also back this to be a very entertaining contest. Both of these teams have quality in advanced areas, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finally starting to look a little more dangerous. The away side haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last seven consecutive Champions League games.

Dortmund’s last clean sheet on the road in this competition came in September 2016, and that record will continue to stand at the Santiago Bernabeu. The last time that Real Madrid failed to score at home in a European contest was six years against versus Barcelona. Sportingbet’s offer of there being four or more goals on Wednesday evening looks to be excellent value indeed.

Our Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund betting tips back this to be a thriller between two teams that have a lot of firepower but struggling defences of late. Die Schwarzgelben need a Champions League run to distract from their poor Bundesliga form, but that resurgence won’t come against Real Madrid.
