Real Madrid vs Chelsea Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 12th April 2023

Chelsea are gearing for a clash against Real Madrid at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday in the first leg of the Quarter Finals of the Champions League.

Real Madrid arrive at this match following two wins and a 6-2 aggregate score against Liverpool in the round of 1/8. Chelsea knocked out B. Dortmund in the round 1/8, qualifying with an aggregate score of 2-1.

After emerging unscathed from their contest against Liverpool in the previous round, Real Madrid are likely to be victorious against Chelsea too. They should be confident of getting a good enough outcome at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in this initial leg, to take them through to the next round.

Real Madrid scored 25 goals on average in their previous ten matches in this tournament, hitting the target 25 times. They conceded nine goals, an average of 0.9 and pulled off four clean sheets.

Chelsea scored 16 in their previous ten matches in this tournament, an average of 1.6 per game. They also conceded ten for an average of one a game, pulling off a clean sheet three times.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Prediction

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Real Valladolid by 6-0, before winning 0-4 against Barcelona. The streak ended in a recent 2-3 defeat against Villarreal. Real Madrid have been in potent form at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, winning no less than five of the past six Champions League matches here. They also hammered in 15 goals, while letting in six as they also lost once.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea were only able to take one point from their past three games. They came up short in a 0-2 defeat against Aston Villa before drawing 0-0 with Liverpool. They were defeated once again, when Wolverhampton ran out 1-0 winners. In their last six Champions League away matches, Chelsea won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn none and lost twice, scoring nine while also conceding six times.

Real Madrid have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Chelsea are capable of getting in the way of the home side at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, as we aim for the home win.
