Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
The UEFA Champions League final of the 2023-2024 season will be played on Saturday, June 1, 2024 and will be hosted by the legendary Wembley Stadium in London, England. On this superb arena, Borussia Dortmund from Bundesliga, Germany and Real Madrid from LaLiga, Spain will face each other. The most recent direct confrontations took place seven years ago, in 2017, when the two teams met in Group H, and Real Madrid won both games, 3-1 away in the tour and 3-2 at home in return. The statistics of the direct confrontations are on the side of Real Madrid, which has seven victories, while Borussia Dortmund recorded only four victories, all of them on their own ground. The most famous double confrontation between the two teams is the one in 2013 in the semifinals, when, although Real Madrid started as the big favorite, it was eliminated by Borussia Dortmund after 4-1 in the home round with four goals scored by Lewandowski, and in the return, Real Madrid only won 2-0.
Borussia Dortmund:
Borussia Dortmund is a surprise present in the UEFA Champions League final, where it returns after nine years, in 2013 losing the final to the Bundesliga rival, Bayern Munich. Borussia Dortmund is a team with great experience in this competition, which it managed to win in 1997, when it defeated Juventus. In the semifinals, Borussia Dortmund started with a second chance in the double leg with PSG, but surprisingly did not concede a single goal in the two games that they managed to win with the same score, 1-0 both in the round and in the return. In the championship, Borussia Dortmund finished only in 5th place in the ranking, but will play next season in the UEFA Champions League because of the extra place that Germany received this season. Borussia Dortmund’s last match was on May 18 when they beat Darmstadt 4-0 at home in the last round of the Bundesliga. Also, the UEFA Champions League final will be the last game for Marco Reus in the Borussia Dortmund shirt.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid will play the 18th final of the UEFA Champions League, an absolute record, succeeding in the previous 17 finals, to win 14 times and was defeated three other times. These figures give it the reputation of the Queen of Europe, which since 2000 and until now, Real Madrid has played seven finals, the most recent two years ago, 1-0 with Liverpool and won them all. The presence of Real Madrid in the final is not a surprise, even if in the quarter-finals against Manchester City they started with a second chance. In the semifinals, Real Madrid eliminated another team from Germany, Bayern after 2-2 in the away round and 2-1 at home in the return match. Real Madrid can win the second trophy this season after winning the title in LaLiga, Spain. Real Madrid’s last game was a little earlier, on May 25, in the last round of LaLiga, when they finished in a draw, 0-0 with Betis. Real Madrid will also have a player who will play for the last time in the white shirt, it is midfielder Toni Kross, who announced his retirement from football after Euro 2024.
