BT Sport Extra, 7.45pm Wednesday

Dortmund's contribution to the 2017-18 Champions League has been poor by their high standards and serious questions are being asked about the future of manager Peter Bosz.

They failed to beat the Cypriot club at home and away and it’s likely that goal difference will be their saving grace when it comes to remaining in Europe.

This is the fourth time these teams have met in the last two seasons and goals have always been a feature of their clashes.

Madrid haven’t hit the heights of last season and have nothing to play for but Dortmund’s recent struggles point towards a likely home win in an entertaining contest.
