Real Madrid take on the visitors Roma at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the Round 1 of the UEFA Champions League Group G. The match will be played in Madrid on Wednesday, September 19th.
Real Madrid were pretty lucky to get drawn into the Group G. Their opponents will be Roma, Viktoria Plzen and CSKA Moscow there and those teams will be quite comfortable for Los Blancos to play against. Last summer Los Merengjes lost their star player Cristiano Ronaldo who was the perennial leader of the team. Now there is a chance for the new faces of Los Vikingos to show themselves, they score almost every match. It`s worth noting that the team of Julen Lopetegui did not lose in their last two home fixtures. In their last three matches overall Real Madrid drew against Athletic Bilbao with a 1-1 score, beat Leganes with a 4-1 score and Girona with the same 4-1 score.

Roma have been one of the most disappointing teams this season so far. They have been possessing an amazing squad but still have not achieved the teamwork. The team of Eusebio di Francesco has been rarely able to get positive results for them. In their four fixtures of the 2018/2019 Serie A TIM season I Giallorossi won only once over Torino with a 1-0 score. In their last three matches Roma drew against ChievoVerona with a 2-2 score, lost to Benevento with a 1-2 score and to Milan with the same 1-2 score.
There have been multiple fixtures between Real Madrid and Roma in history. The last two happened in 2016 when Los Blancos were able to get the victories in both of them. The team of Julen Lopetegui are the favourites in the lead-up to the upcoming fixture now too so they should get the three points against Roma on Wednesday.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -1.0 handicap.
