Two teams with slightly different UEFA Champions League missions will clash at the world famous Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday evening. It's Real Madrid vs Monaco. Following the departure of Xabi Alonso, Los Blancos picked up their first win under Alvaro Arbeloa at the weekend, beating Levante in front of a home crowd. Can the former player now spark the men in white into life in the UCL? If he can, and the hosts win this game, then it'll be job done as far as qualifying automatically for the knockouts goes.
The visitors have knockout-qualification in their sights too, though they are unlikely to finish in the top eight. As things stand, Sébastien Pocognoli's men find themselves in 19th place, though if they did cause an upset at the Bernabéu, then they'd have a decent chance of securing a top-eight finish. Having lost to Lorient in Ligue 1 at the weekend, though, they can't get a positive result here, can they?

Our Real Madrid vs Monaco Prediction
Let's be honest, it's not been a rosy few weeks for the hosts, who recently parted company with Xabi Alonso. What was supposed to be a successful period under the Spanish legend, who showed such promise when managing Bayer Leverkusen, turned sour quite quickly. This remains the sort of game that Los Blancos should win, though, and from a betting point of view, it may pay to bet on them to get the job done without keeping a clean sheet.
After all, clean sheets haven't been too easy for the hosts to come by in big games, while the visitors have a habit of scoring in defeat, finding the net at least once in each of their two recent defeats.
