On 7 December Real Madrid will host Borussia Dortmund in terms of Matchday 6 of Champions League in Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid.
Real have secured themselves play-off advancement, and will fight for the first place in the match. Blancos hold the second position in the group with 11 points and the goal difference of 14-8, trailing the Germans by two points. Real has had one of the hardest games in Spanish championship, having had a 1:1 draw in the away match against Barcelona, having equalized on the 90th minute. The royal club is undefeatable at home for the last 20 matches, having won 18 times and with 2 draws.
Borussia approaches the game in Spain as a group leader, with 13 points and impressive goal difference 19:7. On the average, Tuchel’s team scores a little less, than 4 goals per game. The statistics is largely due to two matches against Legia, won 6:0 and 8:4. To win the group, even a draw will suffice, the black-and-yellows approach the game in a good shape, and their Saturday 4:1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach proves that. As for the away games, Borussia have had 9 encounters, having won 5 times, losing three times and drawn once.
Real Madrid and Borussia have met on Santiago Bernabeu 5 times, with 4 victories of the host and one draw. Of course the local team is favorite in the upcoming match, but it’s unlikely, that the guests are going to give up the first place in the group easily and the game will be a highlight of the Champions League matchday.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
