Recent form

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have shown impressive form in their recent matches, winning four out of their last six games across all competitions. The team are currently on a two-match winning streak in La Liga, demonstrating their resilience after a Champions League setback against Lille. Despite conceding in five of the six matches, Real Madrid have maintained a positive goal difference, scoring an average of two goals per game whilst conceding just one. Their attacking prowess was particularly evident in the 4-1 victory over RCD Espanyol, which stands out as the highest-scoring match in this run. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these games, suggesting that whilst Real Madrid's attack is firing on all cylinders, there might be room for improvement in their defensive solidity, having kept only one clean sheet in this period.

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have shown a mixed but largely positive form in their recent fixtures, with an impressive 4 wins from their last 6 matches. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, scoring a remarkable 18 goals in this period, averaging 3 goals per game. The standout performance was undoubtedly their 7-1 thrashing of Celtic in the Champions League, showcasing their potential for high-scoring encounters. However, their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, conceding 11 goals and keeping only one clean sheet in their last 6 matches. This has resulted in a high-octane run of games, with all 6 matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of these fixtures. Despite two heavy defeats, including a 5-1 loss to VfB Stuttgart, Dortmund have bounced back well each time, demonstrating resilience in their pursuit of consistent form.
