Real Madrid to win and BTTS
Shakhtar’s last two Champions League matches have seen them thrashed by German side Borussia Monchengladbach on both occasions. They lost 4-0 in Germany last week and before that, were beaten 6-0 at home. These performances were a long way from the one which saw them beat Real Madrid 3-2 in Madrid in their opening match of the group stages. Real Madrid haven’t been great themselves this season and are down in fourth place in the La Liga table. However, they did beat Inter Milan in both back to back fixtures to get back on track in the Champions League. A win in the Ukraine would secure qualification to the next round.Real Madrid to win (-1 handicap)
The Spanish champions have been anything but convincing so far. They conceded three to Shakhtar, two against Monchengladbach, and a further two to Inter before managing a clean sheet in Milan. Meanwhile, Shakhtar haven’t scored since the opening group game and conceded 10 in two fixtures with Monchengladbach. The Ukrainians have suffered from several absences and Real can capitalise on the Ukrainian side’s precarious position.Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Tips
