Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Real Madrid picked up a second win on the trot in all competitions on the weekend when the Spanish hosts registered a 2-1 win away from home at Celta Vigo in La Liga, while Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways in the German Bundesliga on the weekend with a 2-1 home win against St Pauli.

Results in this season's Champions League though have been a little indifferent for the current title holders despite Real Madrid collecting a 3-1 home win against Stuttgart on matchday 1 as the Spanish hosts were then handed a disappointing 1-0 loss away from home at French Ligue 1 side Lille on matchday 2.

However, Real Madrid will believe they can improve upon their hesitant start to this season's Champions League on Tuesday night as Carlo Ancelotti's side have suffered just the single loss in their last 14 matches in all competitions.

The Spanish hosts have also collected 10 wins within this period as well which will give Real Madrid plenty of reasons to be upbeat about their chances in their own backyard at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, while the goals market also looks a tasty prospect as eight of Real Madrid's last 14 games have also resulted in both teams scoring.

Borussia Dortmund bounced back from a 2-1 loss away from home at Union Berlin on the weekend when the German visitors recorded a 2-1 home win against St Pauli and they hit the road again in Spain on Tuesday night to take on the current Champions League title winners.

Borussia Dortmund will also be in confident mood ahead of this matchday 3 clash at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu as the German club currently sit top of the early Champions League standings having registered a comprehensive 3-0 win away from home at Club Brugge and then inflicting a landslide 7-1 thrashing of Scottish Premiership side Celtic on matchday 2.

The bigger picture shows Borussia Dortmund have been dealt just two defeats in their last 12 matches in all competitions along with collecting nine wins in the process, so they too will fancy their chances here on Tuesday night.

Interestingly, eight out of Borussia Dortmund's last 12 matches in all competitions have also resulted in both teams scoring and this option looks most appealing for this upcoming fixture especially as the odds for a Real Madrid win are so low.
