20:45 Real Madrid – Ludogorets Razgrad

Real Madrid CF / K. Navas – R. Varane, F. Coentrao, Nacho, A. Arbeloa – Isco, A. Illarramendi, T. Kroos – J. Hernandes, C. Ronaldo, G. Bale.

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad / V. Stoyanov – Y. Minev, C. Moti, G. Terziev, J. Caicara – S. Dyakov, F. Espinho, D. Abalo, Marcelinho – V. Misidjan, Y. Hamza.

Real will be without Karim Benzema (5 goals) and James Rodriguez (1 goal), but with Cristiano Ronaldo (4 goals), Gareth Bale (1 goal) and Javier Hernandez in attack.This is one of the last games for Ronaldo before the final vote for FIFA Ballon d’Or, so I expect that he will be highly motivated to show good football and there is no doubt, that he will receive a sufficient support from his teammates.

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad will be without Brayan Angulo and Roman Bezjak.Georgi Dermendzhiev will most probably use 4-5-1 instead of 4-3-3 (like in the first match in Sofia), but the defense of this team was quite shaky in the last two games against FC Basel (0-4) and Liverpool F.C. (2-2) and I expect many difficult moments for PFC Ludogorets Razgrad at “Estadio Santiago Bernabeu”.In the same time, the Eagles will probably have chances to score on counter-attack, as it’s obvious, that Real will attack from the first minute to the last.

The Whites won 2-1 in the first match at “Vasil Levski Stadium” in Sofia (PFC Ludogorets Razgrad – Real Madrid CF 1-2 on 01.10.2014), but I expect bigger victory for Real this time.
