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.
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.
