The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup reaches the quarter-final stage with a blockbuster European clash in New Jersey as Real Madrid face Borussia Dortmund on Saturday night in a rematch of the 2024 UCL final.
Both teams arrive in excellent form, but it’s the reigning Intercontinental Cup champions Madrid who carry the burden—and expectation—of continuing their flawless legacy in this competition.
⚪Los Blancos Chase 6th Title with Eyes on the Semis| Home Win = 1.67
Xabi Alonso’s men were clinical and composed in a narrow 1-0 win over Juventus in the last round, dominating chances with 11 shots on target from seven different players.
Academy graduate Gonzalo Garcia scored the winner and has stepped up impressively in the absence of others, helping Madrid reach a record 20th game in the competition’s history.
Still unbeaten in the Club World Cup since 2014, the five-time champions are now on a 16-game unbeaten run, having already dispatched Pachuca and Salzburg in the group stage after a nervy 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal.
🟡Dortmund the Dangerous Underdogs with a Point to Prove| Away Win = 4.96
Niko Kovac’s side has caught fire at the right time, winning nine of their last ten games and turning heads after a thrilling 5-2 win over Sundowns and a professional 2-1 victory against Monterrey.
Serhou Guirassy has led from the front, scoring both of Dortmund’s knockout-stage goals so far, with Karim Adeyemi assisting both against the Mexicans in the round of 16.
With renewed confidence and tactical discipline under Kovac, Dortmund will fancy their chances of finally breaking their Madrid hoodoo, having not beaten the Spanish giants since 2013.
