One great thing about the revamped UEFA Champions League league phase is that it pits the best teams against one another right from the start of the campaign. The Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund matchup takes place on Tuesday at 20:00 UK Time.
Borussia Dortmund is obviously going through a transformation. The most important development is the hiring of Nuri Shaheen as coach; he was a player for the club in the past. Furthermore, the black-and-yellow have not shown particularly impressive performances so far, at least in the domestic championship. Already this season, the team has dropped three points, twice against lower-tier opponents (1:5 against Stuttgart and 1:2 against Union). As a result, Borussia is not performing up to par in the standings. The team won a match against “St. Pauli” over the weekend, 2:1.
Well, it’s no surprise that Real is among La Liga’s top teams. Despite it, Barça got out to a stronger start, winning consecutive games for an extended period. Its lead over the tournament’s leading opponent is still rather slim. While Ancelotti was in charge, his squad only managed a handful of dismal draws in the Primera. The ‘cream’ defeated the ‘Celta’ 2:1 over the weekend.
Each team’s first round in the Champions League was unique. Both times, Borussia got out to a fast start and triumphed by large margins. Despite the fact that Bruges (3-0) and Celtic (7-1) were not very strong teams. As a result of their superior goal differential, Dortmund are now atop the league standings.
However, Real has already suffered a defeat in the second round (0:1), and it wasn’t against the best team. In the first round, Ancelotti’s squad also had several issues, which they eventually resolved against Stuttgart (3:1). The Spanish delegate moves closer to the centre of the pack in the rankings.

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Real Madrid’s very deep squad puts them in a much better position to withstand the storm of injuries than any of their opponents. With Niklas Fullkrug gone and Karim Adeyemi out with an injury, Dortmund’s offensive strength has been severely diminished, as seen by their seventh-place Bundesliga standing.
