Prediction Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid, Champions League 27/09/2017

Borussia Dortmund's efforts to get the first point in the Champions League group phase will face a tough challenge when it comes to hosting defending champions Real Madrid at Signal Iduna Park,

The German giants generally have a positive and dominant game at Wembley, but their defensive weakness is put to good use by the hosts and now they face the tough task of hosting the Champions League champions

Real Madrid is not a new opponent for the Bundesliga giants though. They also joined in the same group as last year, and finally finished top of their group with Madrid laughing at the end of the competition as they defended their trophy against Juventus, while Dortmund were marginalized by AS Monaco.

So far the Borussia Dortmund season has been impressive, their away trip to London is the only disgrace. They have won five times, draw one, and lost one of their seven competitive matches, scored 20 goals and conceded four goals. Although the defense seems to be improving, we can not guarantee they can record clean sheets here.

Both of their second matches last season produced quite a lot of goals, and they did not disappoint. Both of their group matches ended with a score of 2-2. Pierre Emerick-Aubame scored in both matches, and after his hat-trick over the weekend with now he has eight goals in seven appearances this season. Last year he bagged 38 goals in the Bundesliga and Champions League as well, so we support him to score here.

Real Madrid have not really succeeded so far this season, and they lost a shock at home to Real Betis last week. They have won four, draw two, and lost one of their seven appearances since the league season begins, but a 3-0 win over APOEL still proves that UCL remains a comfortable home for them.
