As we enter the final stages of the season, Chelsea host Real Madrid at the Stamford Bridge in the much awaited second leg of the Champions League. Both teams have been in the best form recently with Real Madrid climbing up to second place and Chelsea up to 4th in their respective league tables. This will be a much tougher game than it looks like for Real Madrid as they will most of their defenders through injury. However, Real Madrid are Champions league specialists and it will be very tough for Chelsea to hold their away goal advantage.
Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Real Madrid match are:
Chelsea vs Real Madrid Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea now have one of the best defences in Europe and have conceded only 5 goals in their 22 games under Tuchel. Their formula to win is by keeping conceding as less goals as possible. We expect them to play even more defensively to contain their away goal advantage. Surprisingly, even Real Madrid have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 6 games and thus betting on the total goals to be under 2.5 at odds of 1.66 (bet 365) is one of the best bets of the match.
Karim Benzema has carried Real Madrid’s attack this season delivering in almost every single game for them which includes the first leg game against Chelsea. He looks almost impossible to stop and thus betting on him to get a goal at odds of 2.62 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
Both teams will play it safe in the first half and will make sure that the tie doesn’t get away from their hands. We expect the first half to be low scoring and thus betting on the first half correct score to be 0-0 at odds of 2.62 (bet 365) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Toni Kroos has now become a club legend for Real Madrid and has 3 Champions league in his 6 years with them. He always steps up in the important games and with Chelsea’s defensive style of play, betting on him to get more than 0.5 shots on target at odds of 3.00 (bet 365) can give you high returns at minimal risk.
Second legs of knockout competitions are always the most intense with the game involving lots of corners, cards, shots and sometimes goals. Thus betting on the game to have more than 10 corners and 4 cards combined for both teams at odds of 4.21(bet 365) is a really good bet to make.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea have lost only 2 games under Tuchel till now and no team seems to have the formula to beat them. Chelsea’s players are all well rested and fit for this match whereas many Real Madrid players are suffering from injuries and have less match fitness. Thus we expect the match to end as a Chelsea draw or win at odds of 1.30 (betway).
Bet During the Match
If the match goes into extra time, betting on the game result to be decided after penalties at current odds of 13.00 (bet 365) can be a good bet to make during the match.
