Real Madrid vs Wolfsburg (Quarter Finals) - Competition: UEFA Champions League
Real Madrid’s 4-0 win against Eibar team earned them a sixth La Liga BBVA win in a
row and they are now only 4 points behind la Liga leaders Barcelona.
The Blancos have won their last four home games, scoring 14 goals in the
process. The last two have been 4-0, while they've got 7-0, 6-0 and 8-0
victories under their belt this season.
Zidane manager rotated
his squad against Eibar with the likes of Bale, Modric, Kroos, Danilo
and Marcelo getting a rest. Karim Benzema and Raphael Varane have both
returned to training and are expected to be available for selection.
James Rodriguez is pushing for a start after an excellent showing last
time out.
VfL Wolfsburg completely outplayed Real Madrid in the first leg and earned a
priceless 2-0 win to defend in the 2nd leg. Die Wolfe went on to draw
1-1 with Mainz 05 in the weekend Bundesliga fixture and they are
languishing in eighth in the Bundesliga. Another worry for the Wolves is
that they have lost to nil away from home on three occasions in the
Bundesliga since early February
Sebastian Jung and Daniel Caligiuri are the only major absentee from the German team and nanager Dieter Hecking could name the same XI that secured victory in Germany last Wednesday, with Andre Schurrle spearheading the attack. Striker Bas Doost will start on the bench but should play at some stage.
Real Madrid have won all four home games in this season's competition by an aggregate score of 15-0. Anyway, they have conceded in six of their last 10 matches in all competitions while Wolfsburg have scored in three of four UCL away matches.
