THE PREDICTION
La Liga leaders Real Madrid have quietly gone unbeaten in all competitions this season and got their Champions League campaign off to an excellent start with a late win over Internazionale a fortnight ago. Carlo Ancelotti has hinted that he will shuffle his pack for this encounter with competition debutants Sheriff, but he should be wary of taking them too lightly as the Moldovan side produced the shock of the opening set of fixtures with a superb 2-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk. This is undoubtedly one of the biggest games in their history and they will relish this trip to the Bernabeu, but you would fancy the experience and talent of this Real Madrid side to shine through with a win to nil in the offing.
TIP: REAL MADRID TO WIN TO NIL
