REAL MADRID VS SHAKHTAR DONETSK PREDICTION
Real Madrid were stunned at home by Cadiz at the weekend so they will be fired up to bounce back in what is their favourite competition. They welcome Shakhtar to the Spanish capital and the visitors are plagued by absentees. They have a whole raft of missing first team players which makes their task all the harder. They will likely come to frustrate Real especially after the shock result at the weekend and they may manage to do so for a chunk of the game but the hosts should eventually break them down to get the win and clean sheet.
