Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction

Real Madrid mean business at this year’s Club World Cup, but to lift the trophy, the Bernabeu giants must navigate a tricky quarter-final tie with Borussia Dortmund.

After a turbulent build-up, with Xabi Alonso replacing Carlo Ancelotti and fresh faces like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen bedding in, Madrid still found a way to top their group and squeeze past Juventus 1-0 in the last 16, even with Kylian Mbappe sidelined by illness.

Now three wins from glory, they’re short favourites but can’t afford any slip with PSG or Bayern waiting in the semis. Dortmund topped Group B ahead of Fluminense and brushed aside Monterrey thanks to a Serhou Guirassy double. They’ve got belief, but the head-to-head history tilts heavily Madrid’s way.

Youngster Gonzalo Garcia is stepping up while Mbappe shakes off illness, three goals in four says he’s ready for another big moment. Expect Dortmund to dig deep early under Niko Kovac but open up after the break, the last clash produced seven goals with most after half-time.

Watch the wing-backs too: Ryerson and Svensson should be busy tracking Vinicius Junior, and could rack up the fouls.
