Real Madrid - Shakhtar Donetsk  Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 
 
Real Madrid and Sahtior Donetsk meet in a Group B match of the UEFA Champions League. The match will be played on Wednesday, at 17:55, on Alfredo di Stefano Stadium.

The Madrilenians started well the new season in La Liga, being undefeated in the first four stages, with three victories and a draw. The round with number 5 also brought the first failure of the season, 0-1 at home with the newly promoted Cadiz. Even though they had a 75% possession, Zinedine Zidane's students were ineffective in attack, having only two shots sent to the goal area, being dominated by the corners, with the score of 4-11.





 


 
 



Sahtior appeared in the new season after the humiliating failure suffered in the semifinals of the Europa League, 0-5 against Inter Milan. This season, the band from Donetsk suffered only one defeat, the one from the Super Cup of Ukraine, 1-3 in front of those from Dynamo Kiev, Mircea Lucescu's team. In the championship, Sahtior is without failure, but the course is not an impressive one, with three victories and as many draws.

The guests have big batch problems before this dispute. Junior Moraes will not be present on the pitch, while Eden Hazard is missing from the hosts. There are two absences that could make their mark on the two offensives that, however, did not look very good this season. We are betting on a duel with a maximum of three changes in the table, considering the fact that in four of the five matches played by Real this season, less than 2.5 goals were scored.
