The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals are now going into the second leg, and it is exciting, as we had some interesting results in the first half of these 4 match-ups.
Now that we get the second clash between all of these teams, we have a slightly clearer vision of the clubs who are likely to make it to the semifinals, but anything could happen as the maximum European competition is fertile ground for surprises.
In this game, we’ll define the survivor from the Real Madrid vs. Chelsea matchup after the 2-0 in favor of the White House in the Spanish Capital. Since the beginning, this was an unbalanced matchup considering both teams’ performance.
Both clubs are pretty much ready for whatever happens in the second match, and we can definitely see that the Champions League is getting more and more exciting, so we will be at the edge of our seats to see which teams push forward.

Why Bet on Chelsea?
There is no shame in losing to the European champions in their backyard, and Lampard could have taken a few positives from his side’s valiant efforts in the Spanish capital, where strikes from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio led to a predictable victory for those in white.
The biggest issue in the last match was Ben Chilwell getting a red card in the 59th minute and that is what lead to the second goal happening.
The main problem for Chelsea is that they are still the fragile and poor side that have been all season. The Blues just cannot seem to find their foot on the attacking front, as all their main offensive players have torrid numbers. They already came back with an unlikely result this season, but that was against a much weaker side.
Those from Stamford Bridge come from a loss against Brighton in the league that, we feel, ended their European qualification hopes for good.
Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Real Madrid is coming strong and comfortable in this second leg, as they took a 2-0 advantage at home in their first match. This will allow them to come with a clear head and do the minimum required to save themselves some energy and make their way to the semifinals with ease.
The Merengues have not been the most regular side in LaLiga recently, having 3 wins and 2 losses in their last five matches. However, after we thought everything was said and done in the league, Barça’s performance has been decreasing, so, with Real’s qualification to the Copa del Rey final, a triplet is still on the cards. Whatever the case, they cannot be overconfident as the best side in LaLiga in recent weeks, Atlético, is starting to look at second place with thirsty eyes.
We do not believe that the champions will rotate for this match, but a solid defensive performance will be more than enough to put things to bed.
Final Betting Analysis: Chelsea vs. Real Madrid
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti should have Vinicius Junior and Toni Kroos back in the fold for Tuesday’s Champions League quarterfinals second leg at Stamford Bridge.
Ferland Mendy (calf) is still sidelined, which could see Eduardo Camavinga fielded as a makeshift left-back once again, despite Nacho Fernandez’s goal on Saturday night.
Benzema’s opener in the first leg means that each of the Frenchman’s last 11 Champions League goals has been against English teams, and he will lead the line with fond memories of his Stamford Bridge hat-trick from 12 months ago.
With their current lead, we expect them to control the match and simply hold on to a draw to make their easy way to the Semi-Finals.
Go for a victory for Los Blancos. If you bet $100 on Real Madrid’s victory at -146 you could get $68.49 for a total payout of $168.49.
