The Dortmund supporters will provide an intense atmosphere for what’s set to be one of the matches of the competition, as they welcome Real to the Westfalenstadion.

It’s a Madrid side that have seen their momentum sapped lately. While they salvaged a stunning three points against Sporting, there were long spells in the game when Los Blancos were outplayed. In their last two La Liga games, Madrid have notched back-to-back draws.

ESPN FC’s Dermot Corrigan noted a potentially encouraging trend for the Bundesliga side ahead of this one:

What will buoy the BVB players is their own recent form. In their last four matches, Dortmund have netted a whopping 20 goals, a run that included a hugely impressive 5-1 win at Wolfsburg. Despite the loss of several key men over the summer, manager Thomas Tuchel has assembled an attacking force of nature.

Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains in place at the point of the attack, but a new supporting cast of Mario Gotze, Andre Schurrle, Emre Mor and Ousmane Dembele has refreshed this side.

As the club’s official Twitter feed noted following their 3-1 victory over Freiburg on Friday night, they’re tough to beat on home soil:

Madrid’s illustrious attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema have yet to click into gear, although in what’ll be an open game they possess the qualities to cause the Dortmund back four problems. However, the German outfit are looking irresistible at the moment and will edge a pulsating clash. 

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Real Madrid

Leicester City vs. Porto

You sense that after last season’s remarkable Premier League title win, Leicester are putting all of their eggs in the Champions League basket this term.

It looked that way on Saturday, as the Foxes, so aggressive and incisive last season, were steamrolled by Manchester United, conceding four basic first-half goals. WhoScored.com summed up the difference between this term and the last one:

In Europe, it’s so far so good. Claudio Ranieri’s side produced a professional display on their Champions League debut, beating Club Brugge 3-0 away from home. The King Power Stadium will be rocking for their first home game in the competition, although Porto represent a sizeable step up in quality.

The Portuguese side have had an inconsistent start to the season on the domestic front and were held to a 1-1 draw by Copenhagen in Week 1. However, in the likes of Iker Casillas, Danilo Pereira and Andre Silva, there’s quality and experience in Nuno Santo’s XI.

It’s a vital game for Leicester. Per former England forward Gary Lineker, it seemed as though Ranieri was thinking about it during the mauling at Old Trafford:

Given both Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were withdrawn at half-time, the onus will be on them to push Leicester to three points here. However, confidence is currently brittle at the King Power, and with plenty of canny operators within their ranks, Porto have enough to take a point back to Portugal.

Prediction: Leicester City 1-1 Porto
