UEFA Champions League
After the setback in his first match at the helm of the team, Arbeloa managed to debut with a victory in La Liga, winning 2-0 at home against Levante over the weekend. In the Champions League, Real's place in the top 8 is not guaranteed yet, so it would be good to win now as well. Generally, Real Madrid rarely falters at home. Out of a total of 13 home games in all competitions this season, there have been 11 wins and two losses, coming from Man. City and Celta.
Monaco is not in particularly good formMonaco lost 1-3 to Lorient on Friday and slipped to ninth place in French Ligue 1, where they are on a four-match losing streak. In the Champions League, they have lost only one of their six matches so far, though it was a 1-4 defeat away to Brugge. Their other two away games were also not against top teams like Real. In those, they narrowly beat Bodø Glimt 1-0 and drew 2-2 with Paphos.
Prediction: victory for Real and both teams to scoreI don't think Monaco will get anything from this away match. Real Madrid is capable of achieving victory here, and they need to do so to remain in the top 8. However, I have doubts about whether they will manage to keep a clean sheet.
