THE PREDICTION
Real Madrid undoubtedly hit a sticky patch prior to the international break, with the shock defeat to surprise package Sheriff on Matchday 2 the standout result, and if they fail to win here it would signify Los Blancos’ longest winless streak in all competitions for three years. Shakhtar earned a creditable draw with Inter last time out and will aim to frustrate the Spanish giants here, but Zinedine Zidane’s men – who were given the weekend off by La Liga – will be fresh coming into this and, led by the evergreen Karim Benzema, are tipped to bounce back here.
