Real Madrid vs Inter Milan Prediction
Real Madrid have endured a poor Champions League campaign so far and lie at the bottom of the group after poor performances against Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Monchengladbach. The return of Eden Hazard will provide a boost of confidence, and Los Blancos will be desperate for a win here.
Inter Milan have not fared any better in the group stage. They have drawn both their games, and lie third. The potential absence of striker Romelu Lukaku could prove to be crucial, and Inter Milan will have to be at their very best against a talented Real Madrid side.
While both teams are yet to register a win in the Champions League this season, Real Madrid and a rejuvenated Eden Hazard could prove to be a problem for the Italians.
Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Inter Milan
