Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Sheriff
This test could be a bridge too far for Sheriff as Real Madrid is in prime form at the moment coupled with their home performances.
Los Blancos have scored 11 goals in 2 matches and look a formidable side.
Sheriff will be up for the challenge in this one but with their lack of experience, it seems too far.
Players to watch out for: Benzema, Camavinga, Traore and Addo.
