Borussia Dortmund-Real Madrid betting preview
This is going to be an uphill task for Borussia Dortmund. They need to overhaul a three-goal deficit at home against Real Madrid to book an entry into the semi finals of UEFA Champions League. The last season’s 4-0 win would remind them that this is certainly not an impossible job.
However, as things stand now, the odds are stacked against them. Real Madrid have regained their touch after a brief slump. Once bitten, they will be ready to face anything that Juergen Klopp’s men throw at them.
Everything went wrong for Dortmund in the first leg. They conceded three goals and, worse, could not score even a consolation away goal, which would have been handy at this stage. If the Madrid side scores a goal, it will be almost game over for the German side. If that happens, Dortmund will have to realise the schoolboy dream of scoring five goals against Real Madrid.
Both the teams won their league matches after the first leg. While Dortmund scraped past Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, a CR7-less Real Madrid swept aside Real Sociedad away from home 4-0.
Cristiano Ronaldo was rested specifically for allowing him rest ahead of this game. Now he will be rejuvenated and ready to strike. Gareth Bale was in sensational touch against Sociedad. Dortmund’s defence is likely to be under siege right from the start.
Dortmund’s task is simple in a sense. They will have to repeat the last season’s effort. Robert Lewonoski has his favourite European opponents at his den. He has not been in the best of form of late. Will he wake up against Real with a bang? Dortmund fans will definitely pray for it.
Borussia Dortmund-Real Madrid Prediction
Dortmund has no option other than going for goals. That will make their defence vulnerable to the tricks and guile of Ronaldo, Bale and Angel de Mario. Real have no need to adopt an overly attacking strategy. Still, on current form, they must be able edge out the hosts.
