All eyes will be on Stade Pierre-Mauroy when Lille and Real Madrid square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Champions League game. Les Dogues aim to put an end to their five-game winless run, but they will have a mountain to climb in Wednesday’s encounter. As important midfielder Angel Gomes is banned for the match due to his sending-off in a 2-0 loss to Sporting CP, home win should not be considered. All Bentaleb, Haraldsson, Ismaily, Mukau, and Umtiti are out of contention with injuries. 

Los Blancos, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid at the weekend despite Kylian Mbappe’s injury. The France superstar has overcome his problem, but all Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, Dani Ceballos, and Brahim Diaz remain in the recovery room. Anyhow, Carlo Ancelotti still has a number of high-profile players to choose from and we predict that the Spanish giants are going to prove their worth on the field.

Score Prediction: Lile 1-2 Real Madrid
