Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid 2016/17

Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid meet in the Champions League 2016-17 group stage on Tuesday. Real Madrid was expected to runaway with a victory in its opening game of this year's tournament. Instead, the team was minutes or even seconds away from a devastating loss against Sporting CP. But Cristiano Ronaldo, who is still looking to rediscover top form after returning from injury, saved the day with a rare free kick goal and Alvaro Morata and James Rodriguez combined for the winner at the death.
The team now needs a better performance against a Borussia Dortmund side that had little trouble winning 6-0 over Legia Warsaw in its first game. In many ways, this match could very well define which side wins the group.

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid: Prediction

The match represents two teams in the opposite ends of the form wheel. Dortmund are flying high in all competitions with 20 goals scored since the matchday 1 of the Champions League. While Real Madrid who started their league campaign brilliantly have faded in recent weeks and coming here without a win in their last two competitive games. Their defense looks quite vulnerable and have conceded 6 goals from their last 5 matches. So goals are expected on both ends.
On the basis of form and head-to-head analysis, our pick favours Dortmund to get something out of this match. Even a double chance for the home side to win or draw at the odds of 1.48 is a good option for this game.
