After the draw against Al Hilal, Real Madrid did not make another mistake. They achieved expected victories against Pachuca and RB Salzburg, and then narrowly defeated Juventus 1-0. Youngster Gonzalo Garcia took advantage of Kylian Mbappe's absence. He seized his chance and scored two goals in the last two matches, replacing him appropriately. Mbappe is now available, and it will be interesting to see if Alonso will bet on the youngster again.
Borussia Dortmund undefeated in 11 matchesBorussia Dortmund also started with a draw in the competition - 0-0 against Fluminense. This was followed by three consecutive victories with a one-goal difference. They were expected even against teams outside of Europe. However, a serious test now awaits Dortmund. The team has shown improvement in recent months. They are undefeated in 11 consecutive matches from all competitions, winning 9 of them.
Prediction: +1.5 AH for DortmundReal Madrid is once again the favorite against Borussia Dortmund, having won the last four matches between them. However, it seems to me that a potential Real victory now will not be by more than one goal difference, as Dortmund has recently stabilized and may not go down easily.
