[Champions League] Real Madrid is the clear favorite, but with their defensive issues, it will be difficult to contain Dortmund’s attack.

The reigning Champions League title holders are facing a challenging situation. Carlo Ancelotti's side has significant defensive issues, worsened by the serious injury to Dani Carvajal. Alongside this crucial Champions League clash against Dortmund, Madrid will also face El Clásico in the same week.

In La Liga, Real Madrid sits in second place with 24 points. Last weekend, they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo, following a 2-0 win against Villarreal and a 1-1 draw with Atlético Madrid. While Real Madrid has not been as dominant as in previous seasons, they continue to find ways to get the desired results.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid has collected only 3 points so far. They won their opening game against Stuttgart 3-1, with two late goals in the final 10 minutes, but suffered a shock 0-1 loss to Lille in their second match.

The Yellow and Blacks have had a shaky start to the current season. Nuri Şahin, who replaced Edin Terzić as manager in the summer, is still trying to establish consistency. After 7 rounds in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund occupies 7th place with 13 points, only 4 points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

On Friday, Dortmund narrowly defeated newly promoted St. Pauli 2-1, scoring a late winner. Prior to that, they suffered a 1-2 loss to Union Berlin and won a thrilling 4-2 match against Bochum.

In the Champions League, however, Borussia Dortmund is in first place in their group. They thrashed Club Brugge 3-0 away from home in their opening match and followed up with a 2-1 home victory against Celtic.

Prediction: 2-0
