Union Berlin vs Real Madrid Predictions

Relaxed Madrid set for perfect ending

Real Madrid sealed top spot in Champions League Group C with something to spare and they can finish the group stage with a perfect record of six wins from six fixtures.

However, they can approach this fixture in a relaxed mood while boss Carlo Ancelotti can be expected to rotate his side for this trip to the German capital.

That shouldn’t stop the 14-time European champions from winning this contest, but it could give their hosts a glimmer of hope and we predict the Germany strugglers to at least get on the scoresheet on Tuesday.

Union have had a miserable campaign following their fourth-placed finish in the Bundesliga last term, and they have won just one of their last 17 matches. That came at the weekend against Borussia Monchengladbach and that 3-1 should give them a timely confidence boost.

They can still seal an unlikely third place in the group, and a possible Europa League place, but it’s expected that the Spanish giants will be too strong even though they may not need to get out of second gear this week.

An away win with both teams scoring is our main prediction, and we fancy the score-line to finish 3-1, but there could be some value in the goal-scorer markets too.

Rodrygo to continue goal-scoring run

Karim Benzema’s departure has opened the door for some of Real’s lesser lights to shine and forward Rodrygo has grabbed his opportunity with both hands.

The Brazilian forward has bagged 11 goals in 27 appearances this season and he has hit a purple patch in recent weeks.

He has bagged seven goals in his last eight outings and we predict that he can open the scoring at the Olympic Stadium in a Madrid win on Tuesday evening.
