Despite being on a poor run of late, our tipster is backing the tournament holders to record a comfortable Champions League victory at the Bernabeu
Real Madrid will look to end their worst win-less run since 2009 when they welcome Czech side Viktoria Plzen to the Bernabeu.

Los Blancos have gone five matches without a victlory in all competitions and Saturday saw them beaten at home in La Liga by Levante.

They also lost out in Russia on matchday two of the Champions League by CSKA Moscow and anything but a win against Plzen could seriously complicate their qualification to the knockout stages.

Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale both started Saturday's game on the bench, but are likely to come back into the starting line-up on Tuesday.

Keylor Navas looks set to continue in goal in the Champions League ahead of Thibaut Courtois while Dani Carvajal remains unavailable at right-back. For the visitors, midfielder Jan Kopic is still out with a knee problem.

Real Madrid's problems have stemmed from a surprising inability to score, but surely they will end their barren run against Plzen.

The Czech champions were beaten 5-0 by Roma on matchday two, and their total of seven goals conceded in two matches gives them currently the worst defence in the competition.

With Madrid in need of a big performance on Tuesday, the Czech outfit might just be the perfect opponents for them to record the high-scoring win their fans have been waiting for.
