Real Madrid - Schalke 04 (Champions League)

In the first game between the two teams 3 weeks ago in Gelsenkirchen, the white ballet took a solid lead of 2:0 after goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo. Now on his stadium, Real Madrid will seek new success to raise the confidence of the team after the failure at the local scene. Schalke is in a good series in the Bundesliga, but is not ready for something more than worthy performance in the Spanish capital. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.20 for a home win, with a draw at 6.50 and 13.00 for the victory of the guests.

After two consecutive failures in La Liga, the white ballet dropped from the top of the standings in Spain. Over the weekend, Real Madrid recorded a loss in his visit to Athletic Bilbao and gave the leadership to the great enemy Barcelona. In Spain, there is already some criticism to the coach Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti is against the wall and although the almost secured revenge against Schalke, his team is not entitled to make any errors. For the upcoming match with the Germans, good news for Ancelotti is returning to the training process of two key players. Luka Mordic and Sergio Ramos recovered from injuries, but will remain on the bench on Tuesday night. James Rodriguez is with trauma and is the only absentee from the composition of Real Madrid.

Schalke won his household at against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga with 3:1 and is closer to the fourth place in the standings. This will be the main objective to Roberto Di Matteo until the end of the season. For the visit to Madrid, the Spanish specialist has huge problems with injured players and certainly will not bet on the best composition against the white ballet. Out because of injuries are Julian Draxler, Jefferson Farfan, Chinedu Obasi, Joel Matip, Sead Kolasinac, Leon Goretzka, Jan Kirchhoff and both goalkeepers Fabian Giefer and Ralf Fahrmann. So again under the frame will be the young Timon Wellenreuther, who leaves a good impression with his performances in recent times. Punished is another key player of Schalke - Kevin-Prince Boateng. In a view of the serious problems with composition, Roberto Di Matteo will rely on saturated midfield and actions of counter-attacks that will try to surprise Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

The white Ballet is against the wall after the failure in Bilbao at the weekend. Real Madrid fans want a convincing victory to delight them before the important battles till the end of the season. The problems in the camp of Schalke are huge and Germans hardly hope for even partial success at Bernabeu. We predict a landslide victory for Real Madrid shaped in the first half.

Recommended bet: For Real Madrid FH/FR @ 1.57 at bet365
