REAL MADRID
Real Madrid have been blowing hot and cold in recent games. After an impressive 4-0 thumping of Barcelona at Camp Nou in the Copa del Rey, Los Blancos lost at home 3-2 to Villarreal in the league. This left them 13 points behind league leaders Barcelona with 10 games to go. They turn their attention to the Champions League where they have performed very well.
In the last round, Real Madrid were ruthless in dealing with another English team Liverpool. A 5-2 drubbing of Liverpool at Anfield meant the tie was all but over before the second leg, which Madrid also won 1-0. Los Blancos will hope their good form against English teams continues in this tie. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has a near-full squad to call upon so there should be no worries.
CHELSEA
New interim coach Frank Lampard was unable to rally the Chelsea team to give him a good start in his second stint as manager at the club. The 1-0 loss to Wolves meant they had gone 4 games without a win (D2 L2). They are 11th in the league with 8 games to go and look set to miss out on Champions League qualification for next season, unless they win the trophy this season.
Chelsea will remember that it was Real Madrid that knocked them out of the Champions League at this same stage last season, but it was a close 5-4 aggregate score. Chelsea actually won 3-2 at the Bernabeu but the 3-1 earlier loss at home meant they were knocked out in the end. The Blues would welcome another win away in Madrid at this stage.

TIP 1: Real Madrid Win @ 1.74 odds
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been in great form in recent games. 6 goals in the last 3 games and already 3 goals in the Champions League campaign. We expect him to lead the attack against Chelsea and fancy him to get at least a goal in this match.
