Competition: Champions League
Market: Real Madrid to win against Schalke
Odds: 4/9 @ 888 Sport
Champions League holders Real Madrid travel to Germany to face Schalke on this evening, and the La Liga giants are hoping to get the first leg of their second round off to a good start with a win. Real have been in fine form in Europe this season, winning all six of their group games so far, while Schalke have struggled for form.
With the Spaniards hoping to be the first team to retain the Champions League, they won’t be taking any chances with the side. Manager Carlo Ancelotti knows Schalke pose a threat with home advantage, but the firepower in Los Blancos’ side could see them come away with a valuable win.
Real haven’t conceded a goal in any of their last four Champions League games, scoring nine times in the process. Schalke’s European campaign has been inconsistent, with the Germans winning two, drawing two and losing two of their six group games.
As a result, 888 Sport are giving odds of 4/9 for Ancelotti’s side to win away to Schalke to make the perfect start in the first leg.
