Ukrainian Premier League runner-up Shakhtar Donetsk (1-3-0, 3 points) will host Spanish giant Real Madrid (3-0-1, 10 points) at the Arena Lviv in Lviv, Ukraine on November 25 as the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League group stage competitions move forward.
Real, who leads Group A of the tournament, demolished Shakhtar, 4-0, in their first meeting at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium last September 15 during the opening match day of the group stage.
The Ukrainian club is coming off their own 4-0 trouncing of Swedish team Malmö FF last November 3 also at their home stadium to get back at the Himmelsblått, who defeated them, 1-0, in their previous encounter, as reported by Goal.
Forward Oleksandr Hladkyy, right-back Darijo Srna, winger Eduardo da Silva, and midfielder Alex Teixeira each scored a goal for Mircea Lucescu's squad at the 29th, 48th, 55th, and 73rd minutes respectively.
Los Blancos is coming off a tough 1-0 win over French champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Bernabéu last November 3 with central defender Nacho hitting the back of the net at the 35th minute, as per BBC Sport.
Real remained unbeaten in the competitions with the only time they failed to score a victory was during their first meeting with PSG, which was a goalless draw at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
The La Liga powerhouse is too strong for all of the three teams in their bracket, actually. Thus, a blowout win for Real is imminent in Ukraine on November 25th.
The prediction is a lopsided 5-0 victory for Real Madrid.
Shakhtar Donetsk starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Kanibolitskiy; Srna, Kucher, Rakitskiy, Azevedo; Fred, Stepanenko; Marlos, Teixeira, Bernard; Gladkiy
Real Madrid starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Navas; Danilo, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Isco, Ronaldo, Jese
