Matchday 6 continues in the Champions League on Wednesday night and my next pick features the top two clubs in Group F as they fight it out between themselves as to who gets the most favourable draw in the knock-out phase.

Second placed Real Madrid find themselves in the unusual position of having to play ‘catch-up’ with group leaders Borussia Dortmund, but a win tonight for the Spanish club over their German visitors would see them pip Dortmund to the post in the group standings.

With both teams unbeaten so far, Real Madrid seem to have the advantage here as they return to their Estadio Santiago Bernabéu for this Group F decider particularly when you consider they’ve won their last nine Champions League matches at home on the trot!

Borussia Dortmund know they only need a draw here to progress to the next round with a favourable tie, but they’re expected to come under severe pressure from the hosts Real Madrid as the home side look to overhaul them at the top of Group F.

Dortmund secured all three points on the weekend with a resounding 4-1 home win over Borussia Moenchengladbach but they’ll be facing far superior opposition this evening and in Madrid with the memory of their last visit probably still in the backs of their minds.

Dortmund lost that last encounter 3-0 to Real Madrid a couple of seasons ago, and despite having accounted for Legia Warsaw and Sporting on their travels so far in this year’s Champions League, they’ll have their work cut out for them this evening if they’re to leave the Bernabeu with anything.
