Real Madrid look for three points away against Apoel Nicosia in the Champions League
Kick-off : 9:45 PM (Local)
Venue : GSP Stadium, Nicosia
Real Madrid are currently second in their group, behind table toppers Tottenham Hotspur. They have seven points from 4 games. So they will need to keep winning games.
On the other hand, Apoel Nicosia are last in the group. They have just two points in 4 games. Qualification to the next stage for them looks tougher.
Real Madrid have won all of their games against Apoel Nicosia so far. It will be a sterner test for Apoel Nicosia on Tuesday night.
Los Blancos will be hoping that results go their way as topping the group will help them get a kinder draw in the next round.

George Donis have full team to pick for the game against Real Madrid on Tuesday. Defender Giorgos Merkis will once again be their key man.
As for Real Madrid, Keylor Navas and Gareth Bale remain unavailable for them. While Sergio Ramos won’t be featuring against Apoel Nicosia as due to injury.

Prediction
Their can’t be any upsets for Real Madrid as they are desperately in search of a win. I expect Apoel Nicosia to put up a fight but I don’t think they will be able to surprise Madrid and get a positive result. I guess the game will end 3-0 in favor of Madrid.
