Real Madrid vs Chelsea Predictions

The odds for this match are evenly matched, with both teams having a good chance of winning. Real Madrid is slightly favoured with odds of 2.40, while Chelsea has odds of 2.95. The bookmakers believe this will be a tight contest. Looking at history, it is also likely that whoever comes out victorious will go ahead and win the League title.

Real Madrid to Win

Real Madrid has an impressive history in the UEFA Champions League, winning the trophy 13 times. They have been in good form this season, having knocked out Liverpool. Real Madrid would be banking on their top striker, Karim Benzema, who has recently been in excellent form, scoring two hat tricks in their last two games. And the likes of Vinicius Jr and Valverde coming in as wingers, Toni Kroos, Camavinga, and Luka Modric taking a firm hold on the midfield, Real Madrid has a wealth of experience and quality in their squad. Our tip is for Real Madrid to win with a scoreline of 2-1.

Real Madrid’s defence has been impressive in recent games, having kept a clean sheet against Liverpool in the second leg of their round of sixteen at the Santiago Bernabeu. They must be at their best to keep out Chelsea’s attack.

Chelsea to Win

Chelsea has been moved from manager to manager lately, the recent being Graham Potter who also just left the club after a series of defeats. Chelsea’s defence has not been the best so far, conceding two goals against Aston Villa and another against Everton. Real Madrid could find some way to exploit that weak defence and net a couple of goals.

But with Frank Lampard coming up as the new caretaker manager, things could get shaken up for Chelsea, and they might pull a nice comeback in the coming match with Real Madrid.

Chelsea’s attack has also been unimpressive, with the lack of communication among their forwards making it difficult for the team to snatch a win. Our tip for Chelsea is an unlikely draw. One thing is for sure, it would be an intriguing game, with Chelsea looking to keep things tight at the back and hit Real Madrid on the counter-attack.
