Dortmund Face Daunting Task at Real Madrid
A Preview of the UEFA Champions League Clash
History and Current Form
Borussia Dortmund will face a daunting task when they travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to take on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. The two sides have met 10 times in European competition, with Real Madrid winning six times and Dortmund winning twice. The most recent meeting came in the 2017-18 Champions League semi-finals, with Real Madrid winning 4-1 on aggregate.
Dortmund come into the match in good form, having won their last four matches in all competitions. However, they will be without the services of Jadon Sancho, who is suspended for the match. Real Madrid, meanwhile, are also in good form, having won their last three matches in all competitions. They will be without the services of Gareth Bale, who is injured.
Key Battles
The key battle in the match will be between Dortmund's attack and Real Madrid's defense. Dortmund have a number of dangerous attackers, including Marco Reus, Erling Haaland, and Giovanni Reyna. However, Real Madrid have a strong defense, led by Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane.
Another key battle will be in midfield. Dortmund have a talented midfield, led by Jude Bellingham and Mahmoud Dahoud. However, Real Madrid have a more experienced midfield, led by Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
Prediction
Real Madrid are the favorites to win the match. They have a better squad and more experience in the Champions League. However, Dortmund are a dangerous team and they will be looking to cause an upset. I predict that Real Madrid will win the match 2-1.
