Real Madrid vs Dortmund prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup – Play Offs betting tips on match 2025-07-04 20:00.
[p]It’s a second European heavyweight clash in a row for Real Madrid, who face Borussia Dortmund in the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) quarter-finals after dumping Juventus out in the last 16. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Real Madrid look to be warming to the task under new boss Xabi Alonso, who only took charge of Los Blancos at the start of this tournament. The Spanish giants have now won three games in a row and have answered critics who questioned their defensive capabilities by keeping two clean sheets in a row. Their CWC chances took another boost when they welcomed Kylian Mbappé back from illness against Juve, not that they needed much more of a boost, as 13 wins from their last 14 CWC games (D1) show just how formidable they are in this tournament. [/p]
[p]Borussia Dortmund can already count this tournament as something of a success having reached the quarter-finals on their CWC debut after beating Monterrey 2-1 in the last 16. Like Madrid, they’ve won their last three games, part of a run which has seen them win nine of their last ten in all competitions (D1), so Dortmund certainly shouldn’t be overlooked here. That run started against Madrid’s El Clásico rivals, Barcelona, with a 3-1 victory, and that was perhaps a sign of what was to come given that the Black and Yellows conceded in six of the nine wins in this incredible run of form. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Real Madrid have won four straight meetings with Borussia Dortmund, including a 5-2 victory in the UEFA Champions League in October.[/p]
[p]Dortmund have never beaten Real away from Signal Iduna Park.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Real Madrid haven’t conceded more than once in their last seven games.[/p]
[p]Madrid have scored before the hour mark in all of their last five matches. [/p]
[p]Dortmund have scored before half-time in nine of their last ten games.[/p]
[p]Dortmund have conceded at least twice in eight of the last nine H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]VinĂcius JĂşnior tends to be in the thick of the action against Dortmund, scoring four times in two career H2Hs, including a hat-trick in November’s meeting – he was also shown a yellow card in both games. Serhou Guirassy was at the double for Dortmund in the last 16, and they’ll hope he’s on target again here given that his last 22 club goals came in winning causes. [/p]
[p]Real Madrid have no fresh injury concerns. Dortmund’s Jobe Bellingham will miss out on facing off against his brother, Jude, after his yellow card against Monterrey earned him a suspension for this clash. [/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Dortmund are in fine form at the moment and will take some stopping, but with Real Madrid’s illustrious history in the competition, it’s hard to back anything other than a Madrid win here. [/p]
