Biggest club game of the calendar as we travel to London, England for the UCL final. Dortmund want to add to their single title while this would be Madrid’s 15th!
Dortmund ended season in 5th in Bundesliga, 27 points off Leverkusen. They have qualified for this competition though already. In UCl so far this season they topped a “group of death” heading PSG, Newcastle, and Milan. Knocking out PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, and PSG on their way to the final. Overall form has been 7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. Madrid won La Liga by 10 points. In UCL so far they have topped their own group winning all 6 games. Beating Napoli, Braga, and Union Berlin. KO stages saw them passing Leipzig, Man City and Bayern Munich. Overall, they have been unbeaten with 8 win and 4 draws.
Team news: Dortmund have a doubt over striker Sebastien Haller who returns from injury. Madrid will have to do without Tchouameni while GK Lunin has a bug. Courtois is fit after a long layoff and is an upgrade anyway should the Ukrainian miss out.
Head-to-head statistics: 10 games – 3 wins Dortmund, 3 draws and 4 wins Real Madrid.
Betting selection – Bellingham will be key man against his old club for sure. I expect Madrid to prevail here. With 23 goals in 41 games this season for Los Blancos. I take Jude Bellingham score in 90 minutes at 3.20 or 11/5 Unibet.
