Real Madrid arrive in New Jersey after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Juventus, with Gonzalo García’s header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross proving decisive. Xabi Alonso’s side have now won four of their last five matches, scoring in every game and keeping three clean sheets.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, edged Monterrey 2-1 in the last round, with Serhou Guirassy’s first-half brace enough to see off a spirited Mexican side. Dortmund are unbeaten in ten matches (W9 D1) and have scored in all but one of their last twelve outings.
Real Madrid Full Time Result (10/11)
Research: Madrid’s knockout pedigree is unrivalled, and they have now won 13 of their last 15 Club World Cup matches. Xabi Alonso’s tactical flexibility has been key, with the team adapting to a 5-3-2 system that has provided defensive solidity and attacking width.
Gonzalo García has scored in every round so far, while Kylian Mbappé is expected to feature more prominently after returning from illness. Madrid’s squad depth is a major asset, with Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Arda Güler all capable of unlocking defences.
Dortmund, for all their recent form, have lost their last four meetings with Madrid and have not kept a clean sheet in this fixture since 2016. The Spanish side’s experience and quality in big games make them the standout pick.
Real Madrid are without David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Carvajal, and Endrick due to injury, but Kylian Mbappé is fit again and should play a bigger role. – Dortmund are missing Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Salih Özcan, and Jobe Bellingham (suspended). Jamie Bynoe-Gittens is also unlikely to feature as he nears a transfer.
Over 2.5 Goals (10/11)
Research: Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches throughout the tournament and their domestic campaigns. Madrid’s matches in the Club World Cup average 2.33 goals, while their La Liga games averaged 3.05. Dortmund’s matches in this competition average 2.75 goals, and their Bundesliga fixtures saw 71% finish over 2.5.
The last five head-to-heads between these sides have averaged 3.6 goals, with both teams scoring in four of those encounters. With attacking players in form—García, Mbappé, and Vinicius for Madrid; Guirassy, Adeyemi, and Brandt for Dortmund—expect an open contest with plenty of chances.
Both Teams to Score – Yes (4/5)
Research: The BTTS market is well supported by both recent form and head-to-head history. Madrid have seen both teams score in 60% of their Club World Cup matches and in 55% of their La Liga games. Dortmund have scored in 90% of their matches in this competition and have conceded in three of their last four.
Eight of the last twelve meetings between these sides have produced BTTS, and with both teams boasting multiple goal threats, the stats point strongly to both nets bulging again.
Notably, Dortmund will be without Jobe Bellingham due to suspension, but Guirassy’s form and Adeyemi’s pace ensure they remain a threat.
