Schalke vs. Real Madrid - Champions League match analysis

Will Cristiano Ronaldo lead his team for victory?

A very good match to tip. Bookmaker, which seems to be obvious at first sight, put Real Madrid as a favourite. For victory of the guests they are paying 1,36, for a draw 5,00 and for Schalke’s win 8,00. However if we take into account current shape of both teams it seems that the hosts have unrepeatable chance for a good score.  I am not talking about a tie but even about a win. Atletico Madrid showed how to play against Real, Ronaldo is without shape, and the whole team does not play with such potential as they used to. The question is will the Germans stand the pressure and will they be able to play at the highest level? In the past unfortunately it did not looked best and usually matches ended with humiliation. I remind you about the two legged match between these teams in the previous season. Schalke lost at home 1:6 and in Madrid 3:1. In current season they’ve lost on their own stadium 0:6 against Chelsea! Although currently they are in a good shape, which they showed among other in a match against Bayern Munich which ended with a tie 1:1 during away game. Also against Borussia Mönchengladbach they won 1:0, however, Bundesliga is not Champions League. It is hard to compare the potential of both teams I would bet for 2 goals win for the guest team. Schalke however had few tough lesses already and I think that they are able to get a good score at Veltins-Arena. In this match I bet on Asian handicap +1.5, home team (1,875) stake 1/10. The lowest stake because of past experience…
