Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Preview and Team News
Real Madrid Team News
The clash of the titans is here: Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinal of the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup. Madrid, who endured a lot of disappointment in the 2024-25 season by not winning either La Liga or the UEFA Champions League, will do their best to go all the way here.
They even started as favourites to win this tournament, and have showcased immense grit to make it through to this stage. Madrid have been unbeaten throughout this tournament, with their sole hiccup coming in their opening encounter against Al Hilal in a 1-1 draw. In the round of 16 stage, they beat old rivals Juventus by a 1-0 scoreline, and dominated every facet of the game.
New manager Xabi Alonso will be pleased with the way his lads have performed so far, and how they have been able to absorb everything he has told them. Madrid showed an xG of 1.57 against Juve, and took a total of 21 shots, which is nothing short of extraordinary.
Led by Kylian Mbappe in the final third, Los Blancos will be expected to dominate proceedings inside the opposition’s box in this match too. However, the absence of several top players such as David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Edouardo Camavinga and Endrick will force Alonso to make room for others in the squad.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund (3-4-3): Courtois; Rudiger, Tchouameni, Huijsen; Alexander-Arnold, Bellingham, Valverde, Guler; Garcia, Mbappe, Vinicius.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund need not be overawed by their opponents in this game, since they too have been unbeaten so far in this tournament. Dortmund beat Monterrey 2-1 in the round of 16 stage of this tournament, and look in red-hot form.
Despite several top players not being available due to injuries, such as Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, Jamie Gittens and Salih Ozcan, Dortmund have enough reserves in their squad to challenge their opponents.
In the Club World Cup, Dortmund have held themselves back on the odd occasion and waited for their opponents to make mistakes before capitalising on them. The use of the wings has also been expansive as it is one of their strengths. One can expect them to play on the counter and make use of their wingbacks’ pace against Madrid.
Manager Niko Kovac likes to play with a three-man backline that often shifts into a five-man defence when they lose possession. One thing that Dortmund give a lot of importance to is the shape of their defence.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (3-4-2-1): Kobel; Sule, Anton, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Nmecha, Gross, Svensson; Sabitzer, Adeyemi; Guirassy.
Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
- Pick: Real Madrid to win
- Odds: -161 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
Real Madrid are the favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so, in turn, qualifying for the semifinal. They have one of the best attacking units in the world, and with Mbappe leading the ranks, they seem to have a huge advantage over their opponents.
Madrid’s front-three of Mbappe, Vinicius and Garcia is lethal, as they can play on the overlap and also do well in one-two situations. The depth of passing that Madrid’s midfield has also adds a lot of value to them. In H2H encounters, Madrid have beaten Dortmund in six out of the last 12 matches played between the sides.
Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -159 (20Bet)
With the likes of Mbappe and Vinicius turning out for Madrid, and Guirassy leading the ranks for Dortmund, what else can we expect from this game than for both teams to score? Both these sides have a lot of firepower in their ranks, which will eventually translate into goals.
Dortmund are not exactly minnows, and will give Madrid a tough fight till the end of the evening. Even though the Spanish side have an advantage, we expect their opponents to breach their defence. Dortmund like to use their flanks a lot and feed their target man, Guirassy. Madrid’s three-man backline needs to be adept in their man-marking tactics to prevent Dortmund from scoring too many goals.
