Goaloo Preview
Lately, Real has been incredibly productive and winning a lot. However, having Mbappe, Vinicius, and other top players in the attacking line, the team is obliged to show such play. However, it is still far from ideal, otherwise where did the 2:5 defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona come from? And in La Liga, the race for the championship is far from won: Real is first, but Atletico is breathing down their necks, just two points behind. As for the Champions League, it's worth mentioning separately, as the "Merengues" have suffered three defeats in six rounds, which places them only 20th.

By Champions League standards, this team stands out in no way. Salzburg has gained only three points over the past six rounds. They have one of the worst goal difference records (3:18), surpassed at this point only by Slovan and Young Boys. Even in the Austrian championship, one of the country's best teams, regularly representing it in European competitions, is only in sixth place. This is a clear indicator of how bad things are for the club right now.

Goaloo Prediction
This match is absolutely devoid of intrigue. Yes, Real is not flawless and can fail in some matches. But these guys definitely know how to break through defensive lines composed of not the most experienced defenders. And the Austrians have been utterly powerless in almost every Champions League match this season. We believe that Real will secure a 4:0 victory.

The hosts definitely won't settle for a minimal victory. They need to improve their statistics in the group stage of the Champions League and overall feel confident as the playoffs start quite soon. Our editorial team suggests betting on Real's Victory with a Handicap (-2.5).

Pick: Real Madrid Handicap (-2.5)
