Real Madrid – Dortmund

Real Madrid and Borussia can play a very effective game

On Saturday, 5 July, Real will play against Borussia Dortmund in the Club World Cup. "Creamy" so far leave a pleasant impression at the tournament. Real passed the top opponent in the 1/8 finals - Juventus. Borussia's capabilities are difficult to understand: Dortmund did not play against top teams and left chances to weak opponents. Real from the quarter-finals will already be able to count on Kylian Mbappe. At the same time, Gonzalo Garcia did a great job. The new Madrid forward scored three goals - including the winning goal against Juventus. At the same time, Mbappe is still likely to come on from the first minute. The player has already received game time in the match against Dortmund. Garcia is a limited forward, yet he does not create chances. Another progress is the game of Trent. The Englishman is gradually adapting to the requirements of Xabi Alonso. The footballer has already made his first goal. Trent has not become a problem for the defence, at least at the World Cup. Real are looking more and more solid in a formation with three centre-backs. Thibaut Courtois is also having a very good tournament. The Belgian did not let down in several key episodes against Juventus. Borussia's game is a mystery even after four matches. The Germans failed to beat Fluminense, barely defeated Ulsan and Monterrey. Who there is definitely no question about is Seru Girassi. The striker was the hero in the game against the Mexicans. The striker has a total of three goals at the tournament. Borussia usually act in an attacking manner and often allow their opponents to play freely. The best example is the match against Mamelodi. The Africans managed to score three goals, although they lost 3:4. It is important that a kind of reunion of the Bellingham brothers will not happen. Jude's younger brother Job earned a suspension due to an overload of yellow cards. Borussia will be looking for a replacement for the Englishman. In addition, Jamie Gittens is unlikely to play. The midfielder is very close to a move to Chelsea - they will not risk him. According to the odds from bookmakers, the layout looks adequate: Real is a fair favourite, but it will be difficult to play high. Borussia with coach Niko Kovac is definitely capable of organising problems for the Spaniards. Dortmund have not only speedy players but also a built vertical game. Another problem is the excellent form of Seru Girassi. It is logical to expect a productive football. Betting on a total of more than three goals is risky. A safer option is a prediction for at least two goals in the second half. If someone will concede, they will open up very much, and in the space both teams will easily create chances.
