Shakhtar Donetsk take on the visitors Real Madrid in the round 4 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 11th at Stadion Wojska Polskiego (Warsaw).
Shakhtar Donetsk can be quite satisfied with the intermediate results of the Champions League. In the 1st round, he showed all the possible results. And, most importantly, he took 4 points - more than, perhaps, generally expected from the Ukrainians for the entire performance, given the circumstances. The Orange-and-Blacks were clearly underestimated by RB Leipzig, who were also at the peak of the crisis. All this resulted in an unexpected, if not frankly sensational, 4-1 in favor of the visitors in Germany. Then the Pitmen fought for real, in a formally home game against Celtic. There, not without difficulty, a 1-1 draw was taken, and Mudryk established himself in the status of the best player. Mykhailo added to the goal and a couple of assists against the "bulls" the equalizer with the Scots. But in Madrid, Trubin became a hero. Yes, he conceded twice, but he made more than a dozen saves. In the attack, apart from a classy goal by Zubkov, little was possible. This resulted in a worthy defeat 1-2.

Real Madrid already in this round can finally close the issue of reaching the playoffs. Moreover, by 99% they will seal the 1st place in the quartet. So far they show 100% results in the Champions League. With Shakhtar at the Santiago Bernabeu, by the 28th minute Galactikos had led by 2 goals. Rodrigo first scored and then assisted Vinicius Junior. It was not possible to score more, moreover, at the end of the half, Zubkov had beaten Lunin with “side scissors”. But in general, the Madrid were clearly, not even head and shoulders, stronger. They were prevented from scoring by their own, not the most concentrated, attitude, and Trubin's courage in the "frame". It was noticeable that Ancelotti's wards are able, if necessary, to add. And Kroos was right that he said that everything looked as 7-1, not 2-1.
The year before last, Shakhtar managed to win head-to-head matches. But all subsequent 3 matches remained with Real Madrid. Bookmakers do not expect that the field change will affect the hands in this pair. Rather, Real Madrid convert their chances even more fully - we bet on the visitors with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -1.5 handicap.
