Legia Warsaw vs Real Madrid Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Real Madrid travel to face Legia Warsaw in the Champions League. Read the match predictions to find out why an away win is the betting tip for this Group F encounter. Real Madrid ran out 5-1 winners in the reverse fixture and will be looking to stay ahead of Borussia Dortmund by racking up another big win. Meanwhile, Legia Warsaw are still searching for their first points and are battling Sporting Lisbon for third place and Europa League qualification.
Legia Warsaw vs Real Madrid Preview
Legia Warsaw have had to make changes at the back with Adam Hlousek a serious doubt. Unless he recovers in time, Guilherme will cover at left-back. On a more positive note, Michal Pazdan is fit and available and should take his place alongside Jakub Rzezniczak in central defence.
Real Madrid will also need to reshuffle their defensive pack with both Pepe and Sergio Ramos sidelined. Nacho and Raphael Varane are their likely replacements while Casemiro and Luka Modric are both out. This match may be too soon for Keylor Navas, so Kiko Casilla is expected to continue between the sticks. Alvaro Morata will be flanked by Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in a mouthwatering attacking trio.

Legia Warsaw vs Real Madrid Prediction
Legia Warsaw were outclassed when these sides met at the Bernabeu. They have lost all three group games, conceding 13 goals in the process. Back-to-back wins over Lech Poznań and Korona Kielce will restore some confidence but it’s doubtful that they’ll get off the mark here.
Real Madrid just keep on churning out the wins and are top of La Liga by 2 points. They followed up victory over Legia Warsaw with a 2-1 home win against Athletic Bilbao. That was followed by a runaway 1-7 success at Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey, prior to their latest 1-4 rout at Alaves.
Los Blancos are unbeaten in 7 Champions League matches and have scored at least twice in each group game so far. I can see nothing but a comfortable victory for the away side here and even with a rotated squad, they should overpower their hosts.
