Real Madrid vs Dortmund Prediction
Real Madrid vs Dortmund Prediction and Betting Tips for the Club World Cup quarter-final this Saturday in New Jersey. The Spanish giants are unbeaten in this competition’s history and will aim to extend that record. In this preview, you’ll get exclusive Club World Cup Predictions from the XpertStats team.
- Madrid remain unbeaten in Club World Cup history, with 16 wins to date.
- Dortmund are on an 11-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
- Bellingham faces his former club for the third time since his Madrid switch.
Real Madrid arrive in top form under Xabi Alonso. Having cruised past Juventus with a Gonzalo Garcia strike, they look sharp and versatile. Los Blancos have switched to a flexible 3-5-2 system lately, and their new signings are already making an impact. Garcia has four goal involvements this tournament, while Trent Alexander-Arnold picked up his first assist. With five Club World Cup trophies already, Madrid’s record speaks for itself — unbeaten in 19 matches at FIFA’s top club event.
The Spanish side’s record against Dortmund will boost confidence too. They’ve won their last four meetings with BVB, including last year’s Champions League final and a big 5-2 win in October. Jude Bellingham is expected to line up against his former club again, having assisted twice in two matches versus Dortmund since his move. With Mbappe back fit, Los Blancos look full of firepower, despite injuries to Camavinga and Alaba.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, come into this quarter-final brimming with belief. Niko Kovac’s arrival has transformed the team, who’ve surged from mid-table in the Bundesliga to a fourth-place finish and now an impressive Club World Cup run. BVB edged Monterrey 2-1 thanks to Serhou Guirassy’s first-half brace. The Guinean striker now has three goals this summer and leads a frontline that’s scored three or more in seven of their last ten games.
While Dortmund’s record against Madrid isn’t great, they’ve lost just one of their last eleven matches in all competitions (W9 D1). Wingers like Adeyemi look revitalised, and the midfield has clicked under Kovac. However, with suspensions for Jobe Bellingham and injuries to key players like Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck, depth could be tested against a Madrid side that knows how to close out big knockout ties. Still, Die Schwarzgelben will believe they can break the Spanish giants’ unbeaten streak at this level. Expect a tense, attacking game as both sides eye a semi-final spot.

Real Madrid to win looks the smart call given their incredible record at the Club World Cup. They are unbeaten in this competition with 16 victories and have already seen off strong sides like Juventus and Salzburg this year. Xabi Alonso’s tactical switch to a 3-5-2 has made them harder to break down but still dynamic in attack. Gonzalo Garcia is in red-hot form, while Kylian Mbappe’s return adds elite firepower. Head-to-head, Madrid have won their last four matches against Dortmund, including a 5-2 thriller in October and last year’s Champions League final. Dortmund are on an impressive unbeaten run but have injuries and suspensions to key players like Jobe Bellingham and Nico Schlotterbeck. Madrid’s depth and big-game experience should see them through in New Jersey, where they’ll be keen to extend their unbeaten run at FIFA’s top club event. This is why backing Madrid to win makes strong sense here.
