Champions League
2017-12-06 - Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
A Sports Betting Pick by Lamps
Football : Europe : Champions League
Wednesday 6th December - Kick off 19:45
Real Madrid
Real Madrid thumped APEOL 0-6 in Cyprus last time out as the reigning champions secured their place in the last 16. The Spaniards have no chance of winning the group and as a result we could see some changes made to the hosts starting eleven.
Zinedine Zidane’s side have a 3-1-1 form line in their last 5 Champions League games with Tottenham Hotspur the only side to defeat them so far this season in Europe. Real Madrid have scored in 5/5 netting 2 or more in 3/5 which is good. At the back 2/5 clean sheets is ok conceding 2 or more in 1/5 which is very good.
At home it's 4-1-0 in the last 5 Champions League games and you have to go back over 10 years to 2006 since Real Madrid went back to back games at home without a win (drew 1-1 with Tottenham last time at home). Real Madrid have scored in 5/5, scoring 2 or more in 4/5 which is excellent. Defensively, 2/5 clean sheets is good conceding 2 or more in 1/5.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund were beaten 1-2 by Tottenham last time out at home to end their qualification hopes. The result leaves them on just 2 points alongside APOEL and have the daunting prospect of needing a win in Spain to continue their European campaign for another season.
Peter Bosz’s side have a 0-2-3 form line in their last 5 Champions League games with 0 wins in their last 7. Dortmund have scored in 5/5 netting 2 or more in 0/5 which is poor. At the back 0/5 clean sheets is awful conceding 2 or more in 3/5 which is equally unimpressive.
Away from home it's 0-2-3 in the last 5 Champions League games. Dortmund have scored in 4/5, scoring 2 or more in 1/5 which is poor. Defensively, 0/5 clean sheets is awful conceding 2 or more in 3/5 which is a damning statistic.
Betting Verdict
I will take Real Madrid to Win and Both teams to score.
Dortmund have been awful this season and I expect them to go down in Madrid even if the hosts rest a few. However, Dortmund have goals in them scoring in 4/5 away and in 5/5 overall in Europe. Real Madrid have conceded in 3/5 at home and are hardly going to care if the Germans get 1 knowing they can score a few at the other end.
Real Madrid have scored 2 or more in 4/5 at home plus Dortmund have 0/5 away clean sheets. The Germans will attack themselves and this will be a very open game of football. Dortmund will be brave ultimately will pay the price as Real probably see them off in a 2-1/3-1 scoreline.
Good Luck
