Real Madrid v Dortmund Preview
Real Madrid’s Form
Following their treble in the 23/24 season, this time around has been less successful for the Spanish Giant. They finished as bridesmaids to better rivals Barcelona in La Liga, Copa del Rey, Supercopa de España and getting knocked out of the Champions League by Arsenal. They had to settle for victories in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Real opened the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Saudi side Al-Hilal following a goal from Academy Product Gonzalo Garcia. That was followed up by a 3-1 against Pachuca despite being put down to 10 men early after Asencio was red carded, with Bellingham, Valverde and Guler getting on the scoresheet. They then concluded Group H with a 0-3 win over Salzburg with Vinicius, Valverde and another Gonzalo Garcia goal. In their Round of 16 tie, Gonzalo Garcia was the difference-maker again, scoring the sole goal in a 1-0 win over Juventus.
The Galáctico policy of signing high-profile, world-class players to boost the team's performance and global brand, in a sense, is the envy of every football fan. However, it doesn’t always translate into the most consistent of sides trying to mesh all the egos together, but when it comes off, it is always magical. This latest line of Superstars Mbappe, Bellingham, Trent and co will be the job of Xabi Alonso to mesh together following his appointment earlier this summer.

Dortmund Form
Dortmund are managed by former Croatian International and Manager Niko Kovač, who took the reins in February following the sacking of Nuri Şahin and a short interim spell of Mike Tullberg. They finished the season strongly, though finishing 4th in the Bundesliga, going unbeaten in their last 8 league games, and also reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League before being eliminated by Barcelona.
In their opening Club World Cup game, Dortmund were held to a 0-0 draw against Fluminense. That was followed by a 3-4 thriller where they came out on the right side against Mamelodi Sundowns with goals from Nmecha, Guirassy, Jobe and an own-goal. They then concluded the group unbeaten with Svensson giving them a 1-0 win over Ulsan HD. Most recently, they saw off Mexican outfit Monterrey 2-1 following a brace from Guirassy.
The German side are one of the most efficiently run clubs in European Football, generally focusing on purchasing talent under-the-radar talent from across the club, fostering them, and letting them grow before they sell them on for a profit. In this squad, there is a fine blend of youth and experience, too, which will be set up in a 3-4-2-1. Their high transitional vertical play has the capacity to cause Real huge defensive issues.

Key Players To Watch
Kylian Mbappe - Real Madrid
The undisputed main man in this latest line of Real Madrid Galácticos is French international Kylian Mbappé, who made his long-anticipated move from PSG last summer. There were great expectations on his shoulders following the move, but he delivered from his end with 43 Goals and 5 Assists in 57 Matches.
Mbappe returned from his absence, coming off the bench against Juventus, and playing 22 minutes. It looks very likely he starts this game, and he can be gotten at 3/1 to score first or 3/4 to score anytime.

Serhou Guirassy-Dortmund
Since signing from Stuttgart for a reported €18 million fee last summer, he’s had a prolific start to his Dortmund career, scoring 37 times and assisting 9 goals across 49 games across all competitions, including a brace in his last game.
Guirassy has a real physical presence leading the line and creates opportunities for himself and his teammates through intelligent movement and positioning. He can be gotten at 13/2 to be the first scorer or at 7/4 to score anytime.

Real Madrid v Dortmund Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Dortmund
Though this has been a disappointing season for Real on the whole, the Galactico stream never ends, and with Trent, Huijsen and Mastantuono all coming along with some great academy graduates, they remain a serious side.
Dortmund are a side which relish pitting themselves against the elite in cup competitions and can’t be ruled out causing Real problems.
Think this could be tight, but I expect Real’s class to show in the end.
Best Bet: Real Madrid Win + Under 3.5 Total Goals – 17/10
