Chelsea will take on Real Madrid on Tuesday evening in the Champions League quarter-finals. The hosts hope for a miracle, while the away side wants to confirm its place among the best four European teams with another confident display.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Chelsea will be looking for an improved result after the 2-1 Premier League loss in their previous game against Brighton & Hove Albion. The Blues are completely out of momentum since they haven’t won six times in a row in all competitions. It has not been often in recent games where Chelsea has shown defensive steel. In fact, Chelsea has been scored against in 5 of their previous six matches, letting in 9 goals along the way. Regarding absentees, there’s just a single fitness concern for the Chelsea coach Frank Lampard to contend with, thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Armando Broja (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t play. Ineligible players for this game are Noni Madueke, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Benoît Badiashile, and David Datro Fofana.
Real Madrid Preview & Team News
Real Madrid will come into the match after a 2-0 La Liga win to beat Cádiz in their last game. Los Blancos were confident in the first leg, defeating Chelsea 2-0 at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Showing their bias toward action-packed encounters, we’ve had goals 22 times in the prior six matches in which Real Madrid has taken to the field, making it an average of 3.67 goals per clash. Opposition teams have hit 5 of those goals. That trend might not be continued into this next game, however. Owing to an otherwise healthy squad, there is just a single fitness issue for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti to be concerned about. Ferland Mendy (Muscle Injury) misses out for this game.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Chelsea doesn’t look like a team, especially in the second part of the season. We don’t see them being capable of beating Real Madrid in this game. Moreover, the visitors should celebrate another victory to confirm their semi-finals ticket.
Goals Market Prediction
Although Chelsea needs to attack to keep their hopes alive, their offense doesn’t look powerful at all. Therefore, Real Madrid should control the game and keep it under a 2.5 margin.
