Chelsea vs Real Madrid: The Meringues will create a lot of problems for the Aristocrats

Chelsea and Real Madrid face each other again in the Champions League play-offs, this time in the quarter-finals. Will Madrid perform better at Stamford Bridge?.

Chelsea

Chelsea face Lille in the Champions League last eight. In both games, Thomas Tuchel's side justified their status as favourites. In London, the Aristocrats scored two unanswered goals, while in France they outscored their opponents 2:1. Since the return leg against Lille, Chelsea has played two games. On the road, they beat Middlesbrough 2:0 to progress to the FA Cup semi-finals. After the resumption of the EPL season, Tuchel's men crashed out at home to Brentford, losing 1:4. Chelsea remains third on the table.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid also faced Ligue 1 side PSG. In the first meeting, Real Madrid could not maintain a draw, with Mbappe scoring in injury time. Kylian gave the Parisians the lead in the return leg, but after the break, Benzema performed admirably. The Real leader scored a hat-trick in a 3:1 win. Since that game against PSG, Real Madrid has played three games in the Spanish championship. First, they scored three unanswered goals against Mallorca. Then, Real Madrid could not offer anything at home to Barcelona (0:4). Real Madrid beat Celta away (2:1). Carlo Ancelotti's side continues to lead the table.

Expert Betting Tips

Carlo Ancelotti was previously in charge of Chelsea. The Italian has had a successful career at the London club and has won the EPL title. Now Ancelotti returns to Stamford Bridge as a contender.

We would also like to highlight Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel's interesting statistics. The German specialist has a six-match winning streak against Real Madrid: two wins and four draws. Tuchel also failed to suffer a single defeat in nine meetings against Spanish teams: four wins and five draws. However, this statistic may be subject to change, as Real Madrid has proved this season that they can produce classy performances under pressure (e.g. the recent match against PSG).

We reckon the upcoming match will be very tough for the home side, who are the favourites according to the bookmakers. We suggest Real Madrid won't lose as the main bet.
