Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League final at Wembley in June 2024 and the teams meet again in Saturday's Club World Cup quarter-final in New Jersey.

Real produced a stunning comeback against BVB in the league phase of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League, scoring five goals in the last 30 minutes to seal a 5-2 victory.

New manager Xabi Alonso steered Real past Juventus in the Club World Cup round of 16, while Dortmund topped Group F before defeating Monterrey of Mexico 2-1 in their first knockout tie.

Real Madrid vs. Dortmund betting picks and predictions

Result/Total Goals - Real Madrid/Over 3.5 (+250)

Real claimed a memorable 5-2 victory over Dortmund in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League and Saturday's rematch at the MetLife Stadium could be another thriller.

Dortmund finished the Bundesliga season in great form, winning seven of their last eight matches to seal a top-four finish.

The only blot on their end-of-term record was a 2-2 draw away to German champions Bayern Munich and they have the offensive players to trouble Real's rearguard.

Striker Serhou Guirassy, who scored a hat-trick against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, has struck three times at the Club World Cup.

However, Real also look in good shape, having followed up a 1-1 draw with Al Hilal by beating Pachuca 3-1, FC Salzburg 3-0 and Juventus 1-0.

Kylian Mbappe made his return from illness as a late substitute against Juve and Real have a host of exciting creative players, including England internationals Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Turkey forward Arda Guler is another threat, while Brazil star Vinicius Jr. loves playing against Dortmund.

He scored a hat-trick in last October's victory in Madrid, notched the second goal in the UEFA Champions League final and can help Real win a game featuring over 3.5 goals.

Gonzalo Garcia to be first goalscorer (+550)

Real's top goalscorer Mbappe may not be rushed back into the starting line-up as his understudy Gonzalo Garcia is having a wonderful tournament.

The young striker scored Real's first goal of the Club World Cup against Al Hilal and he was also on target in their final group fixture against Salzburg.

Garcia's dream run continued in the round-of-16 clash with Juventus as he scored the only goal of the game early in the second half.

He can expect excellent service from a midfield featuring Bellingham, Guler and Federico Valverde and looks a good bet to be first goalscorer again. 

 Jude Bellingham to be booked (+400)

Real star Jude Bellingham should be fired up for a CWC quarter-final against his former club, although he will not be facing his younger brother Jobe in East Rutherford.

Jobe Bellingham signed for BVB from Sunderland last month, but is suspended for this quarter-final after picking up two yellow cards at the tournament.

The older Bellingham brother is no stranger to a booking either and he is an eye-catching price to receive a card on Saturday.

He finished the European club season with 11 yellow cards and one red in 48 starts for Real and was also booked twice in four Nations League appearances for England.

Bellingham was cautioned by the referee in Real's last-16 win over Juve and is unlikely to temper his competitive streak against Dortmund.
