Real Madrid hosts Shakhtar Donetsk in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 3rd at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid)
Real Madrid is in perfect order again. Just a few days before the match in the Champions League, the Whites were stronger than Elche in the away game of LaLiga (1-2). Vinicius Junior scored a brace. After that victory, the men of Carlo Ancelotti took second place in the La Liga standings, but the gap to the leading Real Sociedad is only one point. As for the Champions League group, Real Madrid shares the 1st place with Sheriff Tiraspol. Both teams have six points. Eight of Real Madrid's nine previous home games in the Champions League ended with an exchange of goals scored, and the following results were recorded: four victories, three losses, and two draws. In the last 12 home matches in the Champions League, the Whites have scored at least one goal against their opponents.

Shakhtar Donetsk suffered an overwhelming defeat in the first leg against Real Madrid (0-5). Now the Miners need to make amends at any cost. Ideally, they should defeat the Whites at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. As for away performances of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, the last ten matches ended as follows: five victories, two draws, and three defeats. Six games ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. So far, the Orange-and-Blacks are not doing well in the group stage. They earned only one point in three rounds (two defeats and one draw). It is noteworthy that Shakhtar Donetsk has not scored a single goal but has already conceded seven times.
OF course, Real Madrid will try to beat Shakhtar Donetsk again. Three points scored will allow the Whites to significantly increase their chances of advancing to the playoffs. And Ancelotti's charges will certainly act from a position of strength. The main thing is to avoid underestimating the opponents after beating them with a score of 0-5. What should we expect from the visitors? I would like them to show their temper. Shakhtar Donetsk is unlikely to win, given the difference in class. But De Zerbi’s charges are simply obliged to create problems for the hosts and at least to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
