Teams vying for a semifinal spot in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will face off as Real Madrid takes on Borussia Dortmund on Saturday afternoon. Real Madrid has recently triumphed over Juventus with a score of 1-0 in the Round of 16, while Dortmund achieved a 2-1 victory against Monterrey.
Real Madrid has been dominant in recent encounters, having won the last four meetings with Dortmund, including a 5-2 win in their previous clash on October 22.
The showdown is set for 4 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Real Madrid is favored at -160, meaning a risk of $160 would return $100 on the 90-minute money line. Dortmund are underdogs at +400, a draw sits at +340, and the total goals over/under is set at 3.5.

Martin Green has extensive experience in the sports betting scene and has made successful predictions over the course of the past seasons. Last year, his soccer bets yielded profitable results in various competitions, showing substantial gains.
Martin Green’s Predictions for the Match:
- Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals (-110)
- Real Madrid to win and over 1.5 goals (-118)
These teams have historically scored four or more goals in four of their last five meetings, including a high-scoring October match that resulted in seven goals.
Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe, while suffering from a recent illness, is expected to potentially lead the offense as he notably racked up 31 goals during the last season with a remarkable scoring streak. Despite this uncertainty, the advice is to look out for their powerful gameplay at the upcoming match against Dortmund.
“Real Madrid will aim to pile more misery upon Borussia Dortmund when they meet at MetLife Stadium on Saturday,” Green stated.
