Dortmund head to Madrid seeking revenge for their defeat in the Champions League final last season, which ended up being Real Madrid's 14th in their club's history. The visitors have enjoyed a perfect start to their campaign in the revised Champions League this season, sitting in first place following their goal fests at Club Brugge and Celtic.
After facing relatively weaker sides, Real Madrid represent Dortmund's biggest challenge of the tournament so far. Nevertheless, 'Los Blancos' have struggled to find their shape this season, as new signing Mbappe is in the midst of redescovering his form under Ancelotti. The Spaniard sit in an underwhealming 17th position in the league-phase table after their loss at Lille in matchday two.
Ancelotti will hope Vinicius and Mbappe can shine for their side, meanwhile Dortmund will expect their main man Guirassy to continue with his impressive form and provide the goals for the Germans. The striker counts 7 goals in 7 appearances for BVB, whereas Frenchman Mbappe has 8 goals in 12 matches with Real Madrid.
Quite a few players will miss out on the clash, as injury problems have hit both teams. For the hosts, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba and Brahim Diaz are out due to injuries, though the latter is expected to be fit for the Clasico clash against Barcelona on Saturday. On the other hand, Dortmund see themselves without Karim Adeyemi, Yan Couto, Julien Duranville and Giovanni Reyna.
