Team News & Match Tips – RM vs SHA:
- Eden Hazard, Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Odriozola, Odegaard and Mariano are unavailable for Real Madrid tonight.
- Kovalenko, Taison, Patrick, Junior Moraes and Konoplyanka are unavailable for Shakhtar tonight.
- My Verdict: Real Madrid have struggled to score goals since football returned after the pandemic. Last week’s 1-0 loss at home to newly-promoted Cadiz sent shockwaves across Madrid. They will need to find their attacking edge against Shakhtar tonight.
- Shakhtar are a very attacking side who are not very reliable defensively. They have been ravaged by a covid outbreak in their squad and will be significantly weakened tonight, especially in attack.
- This could have been a potentially tricky tie for Real Madrid under normal circumstances. However, given Shakhtar’s covid absentee list, Real Madrid should win this comfortably at home and even keep a clean sheet!
- Interesting Fact 1: Junior Moraes was directly involved in seven goals in eight Europa League appearances for Shakhtar Donetsk (five goals, two assists), with all coming in the knockout phase.
- Interesting Fact 2: Shakhtar defended their Ukrainian title this season by a gap of 23 points ahead of Dynamo Kyiv.
- Interesting Fact 3: Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk will meet for the third time in the UEFA Champions League, with the Spaniards winning both the games the last time these two sides clashed – in the group stages of the 2015/16 season.
- Interesting Fact 4: Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last eight games against Ukrainian opposition in European competitions (W5 D3).
- My Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Shakhtar Donetsk
Important Players:
Real Madrid: Benzema, Sergio Ramos, Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Vinicius
Shakhtar Donetsk: Junior Moraes, Taison, Marlos, Alan Patrick, Matviyenko
