Real Madrid look for three points as they host Tottenham
Real Madrid are set to play Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night in Madrid as the new season moves ahead. Los Blancos go into this game as the favorites.
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
This will be Tottenham’s biggest test yet as they travel to Spain to face Champions Real Madrid. They will have to bring their A game into play.
Spurs so far have won two out of two played so far in Group H. This have put them into a better position ahead of the double-header versus the Spanish giants.
Tottenham Hotspur will hope avoid defeats in the two matches against Real Madrid. If they do it, then it will be a huge bonus.
So it promises to be a good game on Tuesday as both teams will give their all.
Team news and possible line-ups
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have a few suspension worries. Although Jan Vertonghen is back after suspension.
