Following a successful weekend in their respective domestic leagues, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are set to clash in the third round of the Champions League. This matchup presents a golden opportunity for Real Madrid to bounce back after an unexpected setback against Lille 1-0 on the road in the previous round. Carlo Ancelotti faces the challenge of navigating injuries to several key players, however, his side managed to secure a hard-fought victory under pressure against Celta Vigo. As the most succesfull club in football history, Real Madrid always finds a way to overcome adversity.

On the flip side, Dortmund is emerging from a bad phase, having suffered a couple of shocking defeats, including a hefty 5-1 loss in Stuttgart and a 2-1 setback against Union Berlin. However, they have also shown their mettle with two commanding victories in the Champions League, boasting an impressive goal difference of 10-1, which places them above other European giants. This match could serve as a timely test to gauge Dortmund's worth and their ability to compete against the titans of the game.

Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

The Galacticos have shown some defensive frailties, conceding a goal in Vigo. With Carvajal set to miss out due to a knee injury, their backline will be further tested. In the Champions League, Real Madrid has leaked goals in both matches against Lille and Stuttgart. The German side has proven their attacking power since the season's outset, only failing to hit the target once this season in their match against Werder Bremen.

Given these dynamics, betting on both teams to score presents a compelling option. With offensive maestros on both sides, expect an action-packed showdown filled with scoring opportunities. This match promises to be a thrilling spectacle.
