One of two games due to kick off early in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday involves the most successful UCL club of all time. On a pleasing run, Los Blancos will venture to Greece, where they will take on AEK Athens. The visitors are searching for a seventh straight win in all competitions. Meanwhile, the hosts are hoping to avoid defeat for just the second time in five games.
Given odds of +135 (DraftKings), 'Real Madrid to Win & Both Teams to Score' is the best move ahead of the action in Greece. The visitors are starting to develop a serious winning habit under the guidance of José Mourinho, but they're not doing so by being defensively sound, especially on their travels, while we've already seen the hosts, weak as they may be at the back, hurt a big team offensively in this competition.

Our AEK Athens vs Real Madrid Prediction
In their current form, Los Blancos should be more than capable of returning from the Greek capital with all three points, but can also return with a clean sheet in the bag? Probably not. The visitors aren't exactly prioritizing defensive solidity at the minute, especially in Europe, with them conceding five goals on their way to winning their first three games in the UCL League Phase.
The hosts haven't shown anything to suggest that they can grind out a win, but by scoring against both Man City and Shakhtar, they've shown enough for us to conclude that 'Real Madrid to Win & Both Teams to Score' is a viable bet at odds of +135. Anything above +125 is worth taking.
