Preview
A great match tonight in Champions League, Real Madrid will meet Schalke in a very tough match that promised a lot of goals, it will be a very unbalanced game with lot of surprises, and the stadium will be full of thousands of supporters. This competition could give the chance to Schalke to take their revenge, and score at least one goal, because in the tour match Real Madrid didn’t let them any chance to the victory. The competition will start at 19:45, and this match promissed to be a great one. The last head to head match between the two teams was in February and Madrid defeat their opponents 2-0.
As you can assume the big favorite tonight is Real Madrid, the team is in a great shape, and is fully prepared forthis meeting. With Ronaldo on the field nothing cand stop “los blancos” to crush their opponents once again.
Real Madrid is undefeated at home in the last competitions, the team is very disapionted after the last matches with Atletico Bilbao, this defeat dropped them to the 2nd place, for “los blancos” moral a victory tonight it’s very important, and they are ready for a very tough match.
Real Madrid have won their last 7 matches in Champions League,and have scored at least 10 goals against Schalke in the last 3 Champions League competitions.
By the other side, Schalke comes after a great victory, 3-1 win over Hoffenheim that ended a 4 game winless run. They are not in a great shape in Champions League, and are without some importants players tonight Julian Draxler, Ralf Fahrmann, Jefferson Farfan and Chinedu Obasi are all sidelined. Joel Matip, Sead Kolasinac, Leon Goretzka, Fabian Giefer and Jan Kirchhoff are all classed as doubts.
Acording with the bookmakers odds, this match it’s one of the most unbalanced competitions in Champions League, and Schalke have no chance to a victory tonight. Despite the poor performances that they have lately they will come with confidence in Spain, and even they know this will be a hard match, they will fight for the victory. The question is, have they a chance to defeat Real Madrid?
