Match Analysis

Reason For Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Betting Tips

• Shakhtar have won none of their last three Champions League games
• The hosts have conceded 10 and scored none in those three
• Real have scored at least twice in every group game so far

Real can comfortably progress

Real Madrid won 2-0 at Inter Milan last week, leaving them on course to qualify for the UEFA Champions League knockout stages for a 24th consecutive season, a competition record.

Real made a poor start after losing 3-2 at home to Shakhtar, but the Ukrainian side have fallen apart since. Shakhtar have won none of their three games in the UEFA Champions League, drawing one and losing two and failing to score in all three games while shipping 10 goals.

The Spaniards have scored twice in each of their four group games, while they should build on their recent clean sheet against a Shakhtar side who can’t seem to find the net. We see another comfortable win for the visitors and we’re backing them with a -1 handicap. Given the hosts’ issues in attack, a 2-0 win is our correct score prediction
