REAL MADRID VS. AUXERRE- CHRISTIANO RONALDO FAVOURITE TO SCORE

Spanish giants Real Madrid travel to Auxerre on Tuesday, in what promises to be an entertaining game of football, as well as the first time that these two teams have met in European competition
Madrid will be looking to finally put their Champions League hoodoo behind them, as they challenge a side that has had a somewhat mixed bag of results against Spanish sides having played six matches winning two, drawing two and losing two.
Auxerre's mediocre form in this tournament, having only seen eight goals scored in their seven Champions League home matches, puts Real as odds on favourites to take this game.
Despite Jose Mourinho having coached an unbeaten Madrid side this season, they have yet to click and show the ability for which they are so famed.
With Madrid having found the back of the net over 100 times in La Liga alone last season alone, they have struck only eight times in a combination of both league and Champions League football this season.
With that said, superstar Christiano Ronaldo is highly favoured to find the back of the net on Tuesday evening. William Hill have the Portuguese international at 1.61 to score at anytime, with Gonzalo Higuain at 1.91
Betfair are calling this one in favour of the Spanish travellers, with Real Madrid odds on to win at 1.61. Auxerre, who again have yet to show any real consistency this season, are at 7.4
Creating chances and shooting opportunities has not been a problem for the Spanish giants, however finding the back of the net has, and Mourinho will be sure to be pushing his forwards to find form
Real Full-back Marcelo is confident that Madrid will soon be making the most of their opportunities stating;"Our only problem is the ball isn't going in, but there's no need for us to worry because it is just a question of time until the goals come. There needs to be patience".
Auxerre's topsy-turvy season is underlined by the fact that they are still searching for their first win after seven Ligue 1 matches, with five draws and two defeats so far this season
Betfair have some great odds on the go for score predictions with a 1-0 win in favour of real at 6.6, with a 2-0 win at 8 even.
A highly unlikely 0-0 draw is set at 12
Probably the bet of the lot is the ‘Over/Under 2.5 goals’ scenario with the ‘Over’ coming in at 2.16- this will happen, and is an easy way to double your money
Real, although not lighting the league alight with goals, are too good a side to let this slip. The ever impressive Jose Mourinho is beginning to find his feet, with goals surely not too far away.
Betting Prediction and tip: Over 2.5 goals to be scored at 2.16
