Odds: 1.854
In the last round, the fans booed the players of Real Madrid to Bernabeu, but the team still won. Will it be possible to develop success in the league championship match against Monaco?
Real MadridReal Madrid is not going through an easy period now, also against the background of a change of head coach. It's hard to draw any global conclusions after two games. In the cup sensationally flew out of the modest Albacete from the Segunda, in the championship they were rehabilitated, beating Levante 2:0, although in the first half they did not look so bright, after the break they already added.
Let's remember how things are in the Champions League, where the Madridians lost to Man City 1:2 in the last round, previously defeated Olympiacos 3:4. They occupy the 7th place in the overall group and have a good chance of getting into the playoffs. There are personnel problems in the defense line, Militao, Rüdiger, Mendy, Trent are unavailable.
MonacoMonaco is in crisis, alternating victories and defeats recently. In the last round, the Monegasques made another mishap, losing to Lorient at home 1:3, before that they lost to Lyon with the same score. In the Champions League they occupy the 19th place, but in the last 5 fights they go without defeats.
It is worth noting their draw with Manchester City 2:2. At the same time, there was also a draw with Paphos, as well as minimal victories over Galatasaray and Norwegian Bude. Given the failure of the Monegasques in their native championship, the European Cup is still almost the only chance to somehow save the season.
Match predictionIn the current conditions, the Monegasques have a minimum chance of success. Although Real Madrid is not convincing now, they are extremely unstable, and the atmosphere is also incomprehensible within the team, because we do not know all the details. In any case, there are a lot of individually strong guys in the Madrid camp who want to show themselves in the Champions League, so here I take a confident victory of the favorite, Monaco has recently become completely unglued.
