Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
It’s a clash of European heavyweights as Real Madrid lock horns with Borussia Dortmund in the Club World Cup quarter-finals.
Madrid have eased through to the last eight despite a few hiccups under new boss Xabi Alonso. Los Blancos racked up 21 shots in a tight 1-0 win over Juventus — showing dominance if not ruthlessness. The good news? Star striker Kylian Mbappe got minutes off the bench and should boost their cutting edge here.
Dortmund, meanwhile, have enjoyed a smoother path, seeing off Mamelodi Sundowns, Ulsan HD and Fluminense in the groups before a 2-1 win over Monterrey in the round of 16. But Real Madrid represent a serious step up in class. The Spaniards have won their last four head-to-heads with BVB, including a 5-2 Champions League drubbing in November.
Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction & Odds
✅ To Win: Real Madrid – 1.62
✅ Correct Score: Real Madrid 3-1 – 11.50
Madrid’s recent record is dominant: four straight wins over Dortmund and five of the last six clashes going over 2.5 goals. Alonso’s side are yet to hit top gear, but expect quality to shine through on Saturday.
Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Tips
✅ Real Madrid to win- 1.62
✅ Over 2.5 Goals- 1.55

Dortmund’s recent form points to goals too, eight of their last ten games have cleared the 2.5 mark. Madrid’s extra firepower and Mbappe’s return should make the difference.
