Champions League

Chelsea v Real Madrid 06.04.2022 betting tips

After a shock 4-1 home defeat to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel will need to rally the troops for Wednesday’s game. They have two clean sheets in their last five matches and three of the five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Both sides have scored in three of Chelsea’s last five matches but they will be banking more on their home form in the Champions League, having managed five straight clean sheets and scored two or more goals in four of the five matches. This is not the first meeting with Real Madrid in recent times. In the run up to winning the title last season, Chelsea beat Real 2-0 in the return leg after a 1-1 draw earlier.

Real Madrid will certainly have revenge on their mind as their hope for Champions League number 14 last season was halted by Chelsea at the semi-final stage. And Los Blancos will have a lot of confidence going into this game. Carlo Ancelotti’s side looked down and out in the Champions League last 16. Losing 2-0 on aggregate with 30 minutes left in the tie but a Karim Benzema hat-trick helped them turn things around and dump Paris Saint-Germain out.
