Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid Predictions & Match Preview

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid Prediction

Borussia Dortmund return to Wembley where they lost the 2012/13 Champions League final to Bayern Munich. They are hoping to make amends more than a decade later. The German outfit will lock horns with Real Madrid in the biggest game of the season on Saturday evening in London.

• Real Madrid are record-holding 14-time Champions League winners.
• This is Dortmund’s maiden final since the 2012/13 loss to Bayern Munich at Wembley.
• Borussia only came 5th in this term of Bundesliga while Real Madrid easily won La Liga title.

Dortmund had a subpar domestic campaign, finishing only 5th in the Bundesliga this season. Nevertheless, Edin Terzic’s troops have performed incomparably better in the elite continental competition. They jumped above PSV, Atletico Madrid, and PSG on the way to the final against record-holding 14-time champions Real Madrid.

Madrid have a chance to complete another sensational season with a double. They stormed their way to the domestic trophy, winning La Liga with a 10-point cushion on arch rivals Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti’s men translated the fine domestic form into Europe where they eliminated RB Leipzig, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich en route to the final.

Real Madrid are Big Favourites

Real Madrid enter the final as pretty big favourites and it is hard to bet against them here. Los Blancos are chasing record-extending 15th Champions League title. They have a very strong roster led by the likes of Vinicius Junior, ex-Dortmund superstar Jude Bellingham, and Toni Kroos.

Los Blancos have been at their ruthless best throughout the whole season in both La Liga and Champions League.

While Borussia Dortmund gave their fans some fairytale evenings in Europe this season, we can hardly see them making yet another shock against such a strong opposition. Dortmund did concede the fewest goals of any team that has made it past the quarter-final in this term of the Champions League (9), but PSG’s players have hit the woodwork at least six times in a semi-final double-header against them.

It’s been seven years since these two teams last met each other and back then they were battling it out in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid claimed wins home and away on the occasion, netting three goals in each match.

Bank on Real Madrid to win & Both Teams To Score

We are afraid that the Germany may have run out of luck. Nonetheless, as Real Madrid shipped at least a goal in seven of the last eight matches in this competition, we would not be surprised to see Der BVB on target on Saturday night. Real Madrid to win & Both Teams To Score is the way to go at the 3.25 odds.

Note that the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score pick landed in each of the previous four head-to-head encounters between Dortmund and Real Madrid.

Vinicius Junior to Score anytime

Vinicius Junior may not have scored in the rematch of the semi-final tie against Bayern Munich but he pulled off a five-star performance at the Bernabeu on the occasion. The Brazilian winger always tends to show up in big games.

He shares the top of his team’s scoring charts in this term of the Champions League with five goals to his name. Vini Jr. added 15 more in La Liga. We see the value in backing Vinicius Junior to score anytime on Saturday at the 2.50 odds.
