Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Betting Tips

Real travel to Ukraine on Tuesday knowing a win will secure their place in the knock-out phase in the Champions League once more.

Having taken 4 points from their opening two games, Shakhtar crumbled in their head to head with Moenchengladbach, losing 6:0 and 4:0 to leave their hopes of progression resting on this fixture.

Indeed, it would be a remarkable achievement for the hosts if they could somehow recover from those two heavy beatings to make it to the next round but they will need a repeat of their win in Madrid to have any chance of making it through the group.

Given Shakhtar´s poor record at home and with Real boasting a 3 point advantage over their opponents, the visitors should be confident of exacting revenge on a side that has not won any of their last 8 home CL matches.

Still, Real suffered yet another shock defeat in their most recent league outing against Alaves and will need a big improvement here if they are to secure their safe passage into the round of 16.

Ultimately, Real should have the quality to go back to Spain with 3 points given Shakhtar´s miserable performances in previous outings in this event while Real did win on their last visit to Shakhtar back in 2015.

Real are short at 1.4 but they should be able to record an important away victory despite recent La Liga travails.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Correct Score Prediction

I expect Real to claim a comfortable 2:0 win against an opponent likely to be low on confidence.
