Real Madrid hosts Shakhtar Donetsk in round 1 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 21st at Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium (Madrid)
After a successful last season, Real Madrid’s footballers are experiencing certain difficulties in the new championship. The team gained only 10 points in five games. The players of the Madrid team look tired, especially against the background of a very complicated calendar. In the offseason, the Spanish champion did not make any top transfers and only returned a few players from the loan. But it worked for the sale very successfully and earned quite good money. Zidane is rebuilding the game in this season, so you shouldn't expect much success. In the last game of the championship, Real Madrid lost to Cadiz at home (0:1).

Shakhtar's uncertain start of this season surprised the fans a little because the team's lineup remained unchanged, and the competitors did not strengthen a lot. The problem in the defense of the team has not been resolved, and the attacking players have not regained their shape yet. The Donetsk team will have great problems with the squad in this match because many players of the regular lineup may miss the game due to coronavirus and quarantine. Yes, a tight calendar can affect the physical condition of the players. But young footballers will have a chance to prove themselves. In the last game, Shakhtar defeated Lviv at home (5:1).
Real Madrid is considered the clear favorite of this confrontation. It would be difficult for the Miners to claim success even in their optimal condition, and taking into account all the problems with the squad, they surely have few chances of gaining points. Real Madrid will be angry after failure in the last game and will try to make up for it at the home stadium. I propose to choose the victory of the hosts with Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win and Over 2.5 goals scored
