Borussia Dortmund against Real Madrid two weeks ago was plenty of fun, but I wouldn't expect a repeat of BVB's win at the Westfallonstadion today. That's despite Madrid being worryingly light on players -- Jose Mourinho's having to play his starting right back on the left, a centre back on the right and is missing his usual starter at centre forward on top of that.
Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund: Lineups
Meanwhile, Dortmund look pretty strong, although the inclusion of Sebastian Kehl in the central midfield over Sven Bender’s a bit of a surprise. One can’t imagine Jurgen Klopp will be expecting too much out of the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu, but if the visitors can snatch a draw they’ll be sitting very pretty atop Group D.
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Iker Casillas; Alvero Arbeloa, Raphael Varane, Pepe, Sergio Ramos; Xabi Alonso, Luka Modric; Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Angel di Maria; Gonzalo Higuain.
Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Roman Weidenfeller; Marcel Schmelzer, Mats Hummels, Neven Subotic, Lukasz Piszczek; Sebastian Kehl, Ilkay Gundogan; Kevin Grosskreutz, Marco Reus, Mario Gotze; Robert Lewandowski.
