THE PREDICTION

Losing to Champions League debutants Sheriff at the Bernabeu on Matchday 2 was a real low point for Real Madrid so they will be out for revenge here and they can secure their passage to the round of 16 with victory. Sheriff are still in the hunt despite losing their last two games in the competition but it seems unlikely that lightning will strike twice in this fixture. Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior is enjoying a decent spell in front of goal at the moment while the evergreen Karim Benzema continues to produce the goods, and they are likely to fire the Spanish giants to victory here.
