Real Madrid v Schalke Betting Tips and Preview for Tonight

Football betting tips and match prediction for the Real Madrid vs Schalke match in the Champions League tonight.

Real Madrid host Schalke tonight in what should be a procession towards the quarter final for the Spanish outfit after a 6-1 win in Germany two weeks ago.

That meeting saw Benzema, Ronaldo and Bale score two goals a-piece and we can expect Real Madrid to rack up the goals again tonight, although they might rest a couple of players given that they play Barcelona at the weekend in a match that could decide the destination of the La Liga title.

Real Madrid are 1/4 (Ladbrokes) to win the match, the draw is 13/2 with Coral and Schalke are 14/1 at Betfair to pick up the win.

When looking for our football betting tips on the match tonight it is difficult to predict how Real Madrid will approach the match given that they are playing Barcelona this weekend, Ancelotti will not want any alarms so they will probably go in search of an early goal so back the first goal to come before the 15^th minute at 13/8 with William Hill.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the obvious favourite to score the first goal tonight at odds of 9/4 but we will swerve the superstar tonight and instead take a chance on Gareth Bale who scored twice in the first leg. He is 5/1 at Coral to score first tonight and that is our second football tip.

For a final prediction on the Real Madrid vs Schalke match tonight we are backing Real Madrid to win to nil at odds of 11/8 (Sky Bet). Schalke only scored one away goal in their three group game matches and Real Madrid have kept a home clean sheet (and won) in three of their last five at home.
