January 20, 2025 | Estadio Bernabeu | Champions League | 20:00 GMT

Real Madrid and Monaco face off in this Champions League clash, with Real Madrid looking to consolidate their place inside the top eight with a win that could see them jump as high as third if other results go their way. Real are currently enduring a chaotic period with the recent firing of Xabi Alonso and subsequent shock defeat to Albacete after hiring Arbeloa and will be hoping to put those woes behind them with a big performance here.

Monaco currently sit in a somewhat precarious position in 19th place but do have a three-point gap to the pack chasing them for a playoff place. Opposingly, should Monaco win this game, they will almost guarantee a place in the playoff round in what would ultimately be a very solid campaign for the French side.

Real Madrid vs Monaco Current Form and Standings

Madrid are currently in 7th place in the league phase, with 12 points from their six games thus far. The last fixture in the competition did end in defeat, albeit to better opposition than Monaco in Man City, but that does put some slight pressure on the holders to get a result here and secure their top 8 status.

Monaco actually only have three fewer points than their opponents here with nine points from the same number of games, yet still sit all the way down in 19th place. A playoff place isn't far off being secured, though, with one more result from their last two league phase games almost certain to see them through to the next round.
