Real Madrid vs CSKA Moscow 2018 Champions League Lines & Prediction

Why Bet on Real Madrid?

Real Madrid (8-1-1) has won four straight and comes into this match off a 1-0 win over Huesca the last time out. Real Madrid beat Roma 2-0 in their last Champions League match on Nov. 27. Santiago Solari will be without center back Nacho, left back Sergio Reguilon, center midfielders Casemiro and Toni Kroos, or forward Mariano Duiz due to injuries. However, this looks like a perfect opportunity to give young phenom Vinicius, Jr. a start in the Champions League, plus veteran Karim Benzema is on fire with three Champions League goals so far.

Expert Analysis and Prediction for Real Madrid vs CSKA Moscow

Real Madrid has secured the top spot in Group G, so they don’t have a whole lot to play for in this match. CSKA has no shot at reaching the final 16, but they could make it through to the Europa League if they avoid defeat.

CSKA beat Real Madrid 1-0 back in October thanks to an injury time goal, but Real Madrid actually dominated that day by getting a whopping 26 shots and owning possessions 76 percent of the time. Real Madrid also missed the mark on a handful of shot attempts that hit the bar. This time around, Real Madrid handles their business to get the narrow win.
