At "Santiago Bernabeu" in Madrid to face off against other come out the teams of Real Madrid and Bulgarian champion Ludogorets. This match of the group stage is the last one before the next phase of the tournament. The teams compete in Group B, where Real Madrid is in the first place with full points, followed by Basel with 6 points and on the last positions are Ludogorets and Liverpool with 4 points. The most interesting part of this group is that even the last team have a chance to stand in second place, suggesting a fierce battle in the two meetings of the group. Real Madrid is in great shape and is hard for anyone to stop their triumph. Bulgarian champion will try to stop the march of Real Madrid, which is located in an impressive series of 18 consecutive wins in all competitions.
Real Madrid won the last round of the group stage defeating Basel with minimum 0-1 as guests. Winning goal achieved their superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, which scored 4 out of 5 elapsed game in the tournament. In La Liga "Royal Club" did not stop and score a victory over Celta with 3:0 at home, scorer of a hat trick was again Cristiano Ronaldo. Another victory in a row will put Real Madrid directly in history and this will be a record for the team of Spain.
Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to use any of the big stars, including injured midfielders James Rodríguez and Luka Modric and tough Sergio Ramos. Scorer of the team Ronaldo will be on line with the coefficient for two or more than two goals is 2.10 That is an indicative of what the 'White Ballet' think to do with the visiting team from the modest town of Razgrad.
Ludogorets missed his last chance for historical participation in the knockout phase of the Champions League and now will end his campaign with visit of the "Santiago Bernabeu". Team has achieved a lot and missed a lot too, but now actually are able to take the second place in the group. Actually, Ludogorets looks without any chance to qualify, but should look optimistic and think about participation in the Europa League. A draw is enough for Ludogorets, of course if Basel beat Liverpool as guests in the other match of the group.
Coefficient for Real Madrid is 1.12, which means that the bookmakers are not completely written off "eagles" and a victory for Ludogorets is available at odds of more than 2.00. Georgi Dermendzhiev will not seek victory, but still have a chance to draw. In the past the round of the Champions League, Ludogorets played another historic match and ended with 2-2 draw against Liverpool. We still remember that hard victory of Real Madrid in Sofia after Ludogorets opened the scoring in the sixth minute and lost after 1-2. In this match the visitors had a not so sure penalty too. Coach Dermendjiev traveled to Madrid without one of its main attackers in the face of Roman Bezjak, defender Brian Angulo and one of his goalkeepers - Ivan Cvorovic.
Whatever happens in Madrid, Ludogorets will go out with honour at "Bernabeu", because they have nothing to lose. The hosts will have to be very careful with their respect to a club that has shown that it can confront any big team.
The football prediction of Football-Stats for the derby Real Madrid vs Ludogorets is for a final result of over 2.5 goals.
