Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Sheriff Tiraspol and Real Madrid take on each other at Stadionul Sheriff in the Champions League round 5. Los Blancos aim to cement top position in Group D, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Moldovans. All Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos, Eden Hazard, and Federico Valverde are sidelined with injuries, while a man to watch in the away team will be Brazil rising star Vinicius Junior, who is enjoying a very successful season.
Sheriff, on the other hand, kicked off their Champions League campaign in great manner, with the team beating both Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk, but they failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Inter. Since the Moldovan champions are on the downtrend, we are tempted to put our money on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Adama Traore, who found the net in Sheriff’s 3-1 win over Floresti at the weekend.

Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
