Real Madrid to Win
Madrid are stronger across the pitch and already beat Dortmund in last season’s Champions League final. They’ve looked sharp and efficient throughout the tournament.
Over 2.5 Goals
Madrid have scored 8 in 4 matches and look dangerous going forward. Dortmund games have been lively too, with two of their four fixtures finishing with 4 or more goals.
Over 8.5 Corners
Both sides attack with width and pace. Madrid force corners through sustained pressure, while Dortmund pick them up through counter-attacks and wide breaks.
Jude Bellingham to Have 1+ Shot on Target
Up against his former club, Bellingham has extra motivation. He’s been getting into shooting positions regularly and looks a threat from just outside the box and in central areas.
Dortmund Goalkeeper to Make 3+ Saves
Madrid average double-digit shot attempts per match. Kobel should be kept busy with efforts from Bellingham, Vinícius, Valverde and others.
Real Madrid Goalkeeper to Make 2+ Saves
Dortmund create chances even without the ball. Guirassy and Adeyemi both offer pace and finishing threat that should force at least a couple of saves.
