THE PREDICTION
Real Madrid have begun the group stage dominantly as you would expect, winning both their group matches without conceding a goal and will expected to continue in the same vein against Shakhtar Donetsk. These two teams clashed at the same stage of the competition last season with Real Madrid coming out on top by two goals to one in Spain and this won’t be a walkover for them. Shakhtar have already taken four points from two games and have shown themselves to be a strong outfit at both ends of the pitch. However, the quality of Real Madrid cannot be denied and any outcome other than three points for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in this one would be seen as a surprise.
