Real Madrid will go into the third leg of the Champions League as a mid-table side. Last round, the nine-time winner of Europe's elite tournament unexpectedly lost in France, where Lille struggled with it. The Spanish champion will face the true leader of the most huge Champions League standings in history. Borussia Dortmund not only won both games of the new tournament, but also scored a total of ten goals, giving them the best goal difference among all the clubs with the maximum number of points. The fact that the Madrid and Dortmund clubs faced each other in the final of the last Champions League adds to the zest of the upcoming match at the Santiago Bernabeu. Then the Bumblebees tried to reduce the main time of the meeting to a draw, but now seriously injured Carvajal scored the first goal in the 74th minute, and Vinicius in the 83rd minute strengthened the winning score in favour of the "cream" - 2:0. Bookmakers have identified the hosts as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.48 on their victory.

Real Madrid, having become the triumphant of the past Primera, quite normally started the new season. After ten rounds of the championship, the royal club is in second place behind Barcelona, scoring 24 out of a possible 30 points. In the Champions League "cream" first defeated in the home walls of Stuttgart, managing to hit the gates of the German club three times in the second half (3:1), and then suffered their first defeat in the aforementioned meeting with Lille. On Saturday, Real Madrid players played in Vigo against Celta and achieved there a difficult victory with a score of 2:1. Prior to this match, the Serie A side had been travelling all over the world for national team matches, which understandably made things difficult for Ancelotti, but there will be more time to prepare for the meeting with Borussia.

Borussia themselves have not yet achieved the kind of stability this season that would allow them to compete for serious results. The Bumblebees lost both away games over the last month - to Stuttgart and Union Berlin. As you can see, the Dortmund club had to play far from the Santiago Bernabeu and not against the strongest team in Europe. We bet that Madrid will achieve a confident victory.
