An exciting match should be on the cards on Tuesday when Shakhtar Donetsk bid welcome to Real Madrid at a neutral venue. Decision time is coming up in the group stages of the Champions League this season as we enter round four.

After the third round of the group stage Shakhtar Donetsk are number two on four points, while Real Madrid have nine points as number one.

Shakhtar Donetsk go into round four of the Champions League on four points meaning, they need to chase a positive outcome. A win will definitely keep them in with a chance of reaching the next stage. With a bit of luck, a draw might do the trick as well, while a defeat at this stage could prove very costly.

Real Madrid arrive at this fourth match of the Champions League group stages in trailblazing shape. Their first three encounters brought three wins, leaving them in a great position to go all-in on remaining on maximum points. Qualifying to the next round should be a mere formality now, but first place is of course worth fighting for.

Shakhtar Donetsk scored 18 while allowing 13 goals against in the past ten matches. They claimed three clean sheets on the way.

Real Madrid scored 24 goals, conceded seven and fought their way to three clean sheets in their last ten games.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid Prediction

Shakhtar Donetsk form

They came away from their last three matches with four points, as Shakhtar Donetsk beat RB Leipzig 1-4, followed by a 1-1 draw against Celtic. Most recently, they were left licking their wounds in a 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid. Shakhtar Donetsk only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at a neutral venue in the Champions League. They also drew four and lost one of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded ten goals.

Real Madrid Form

In their last three matches, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Osasuna, beat Shakhtar Donetsk by 2-1 and beat Getafe by 0-1. In their last six Champions League away matches, Real Madrid won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn none and lost twice, scoring 13 while also conceding six times.

With Real Madrid looking strong, we expect them to get the better of Shakhtar Donetsk, and with goals flowing freely, the hosts could be in for a hammering.

Tips

BTTS: Yes

It seems both Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Tuesday, and we are rooting for goals.

Real Madrid to win

Value hunters might think Shakhtar Donetsk is worth a shot, but in our view Real Madrid are rightly favoured for the win. They contain enough quality to come home with a win from a neutral venue.
