Odds: Real Madrid (2/9) Draw (6/1) Schalke (14/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Real Madrid 4:2 Schalke

Real Madrid looked exceptional in the first leg scoring 6 away goals and while Schalke probably under-performed, Real Madrid were simply too strong for them in all departments.

This could be another high-scoring tie with Schalke having nothing to lose other than pride and so we may see two very attacking line-ups and exciting game of football.

Ultimately Real Madrid should have enough quality despite injuries and players who won’t be starting (Bale, Di Maria, Khedira, Benzema, Marcelo and Dani Carvajal).

What do you think will happen?
