Real Madrid
Reigning Champions League title holders Real Madrid have started the new campaign in the best possible way. Winning both of the first two games with clean sheets is always the perfect start as the Madridistas are showing they can’t get enough of the UCL success they had in their team’s history.
An alarming draw in the last Real Madrid match presents Carlo Ancelotti with something to think about before Wednesday’s clash after sweeping aside all opponents since the beginning of the season. Obviously, Real suffer against teams who play compact defense and their loss to Sheriff last season is an example.
Thus, Ancelotti has to make sure his team is well prepared and at its highest attacking efficiency possible as was the case in the first two games when they scored five unreturned goals.
Shakhtar
Shakhtar meanwhile are also undefeated as they take the second position behind Real Madrid by four points grabbed from a win and a draw. It was a splendid start for the Ukrainians in their first game when they beat Leipzig by 1-4 in Germany.
In their second match though Shakhtar dropped their level and only managed a draw with Celtic in a match where the visitors were better in every aspect of the game and Shakhtar had just two shots on goal. Surely, coach Igor Jovicevic will adopt a defensive style and rely on counterattacks.
The odds for a Real Madrid win who are obviously the favorites is 1.15 at 22Bet. Hence, to have a better return for our stake, we will combine the Real win with under 4.5 total games for Wednesday’s clash.
Karim Benzema has been quiet in recent matches after suffering an injury and missing action in the past two weeks. Last season the French international scored 15 goals in 12 matches in the Champions League. We expect Benzema to find his scoring touch and hit the back of the net in Wednesday’s game.
