On October 18 2016 at 19:45 in the third round of the Champions League group stage at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium Real Madrid play against Legia from Warsaw.
The Polish Legia made it to the group stage of the CL for the first time in 21 years. Yet, they are definitely not ready to compete with other teams on such level. Anyway, their visit to Santiago Bernabeu is already something extraordinary for them. Let’s think what we should expect from the game.
Real Madrid had some troubles with their comeback in the game against Sporting but still won 2:1 in the home game of the first group stage round. After that they drew Borussia Dortmund 2:2.
In the national championship Real Madrid somehow drew three times after 4 victories in a raw in the starting games. These were the games against Villarreal 1:1, Las Palmas 2:2 and Eibar 1:1. In the last game they outplayed Betis with devastating 1:6 so Real Madrid are supposed to have positive attitude before the forthcoming game.
As for Legia, they can hardly get any points in the national league. After 12 games played the current champions have 13 points and the 11th place in the standings with 15:15 goal difference. In the Champions League their results are even worse. After two rounds on the group stage Legia have 0 points, 0 scored and 8 conceded goals.
We really doubt that the champions of Poland will manage to improve their performance and results in the upcoming game against Real. They are definitely not ready to play against Sporting and Borussia, speaking nothing about Real Madrid. We think that Legia won’t be able to score a single goal, so Real Madrid will win without conceding.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win to nil.
