Betting tips for Real Madrid vs CSKA Moscow 12.12.2018

Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow face each other on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabéu, a challenge to be played in Group G of the Champions League. Real Madrid have the first place of this assured group and can enter here without pressure, already focusing on the game with Rayo Vallecano at the weekend. On the other side arrives a CSKA Moscow that dispute here the last game of 2018, and looks for to close the year with a good result.

Real Madrid occupy the first place with 12 points, fruit of 4 victories and 1 defeat, with partial of 12 goals scored and 2 conceded goals. The only defeat of the Merengues in Group G came to the hands of this CSKA Moscow, still in the second round of the event, and since then the team has redeemed itself and won the following 3. Under the orders of Santiago Solari, Real Madrid played only the last two in the competition, won in Plzen (0-5), and then in AS Roma (0-2). The Merengues have the first place in this grouping assured, and can shift their focus to Saturday's game against Rayo Vallecano, for the championship.

However, to play at home with the support of their public, the Madrilenians will never play for the draw, much less after receiving the team responsible for the only defeat in Group G. With 1st place assured, Santiago Solari will make some changes and give minutes to other players, being Federico Valverde, Lucas Vazquez or Mariano can take place at eleven, such as Keylor Navas. Nacho is confirmed low, injured, and Casemiro is in doubt. Even though you can enter with an initial eleven with several changes, the Merengues continue to have a team of high individual quality, and collective.


Champions LeagueThe CSKA Moscow, meanwhile, is in last place with 4 points, fruit of 1 victory, 1 tie and 3 losses, with partial of 5 goals scored and 9 conceded goals. The Russians scored only in the first two rounds of this group, away against Plzen (2-2) and then at home against Real Madrid (1-0), losing the following 3 challenges. There is still a chance for CSKA to remain in European competition, which means it is dependent on a better result than Plzen, who host AS Roma, as they both have 4 points, but the Czechs are ahead in the match direct.

This will be the last game of the year for CSKA Moscow, who will only once again compete for the Russian championship in March, and the team will want to enter the winter break with a victory over mighty Real Madrid. Out of doors, CSKA have won only 1 of the last 4 games, and this is an always complicated trip. Viktor Vasin, injured, is confirmed low, doubting Mario Fernandes, Akhmetov, Dzagoev and Abel Hernández. The Russians need to take advantage of Real Madrid to have nothing to fight for, and seek to score here, as that is the only way to keep alive the hope of advancing to the Europa League.


The Russians come here needing to score so that they have the chance to move forward in the competition, but they play in a difficult redoubt against an opponent with great individuality, even in the usual eleven. Real Madrid are favorites to win, and so should do with some ease.
