Real Madrid will hope to protect their 3-1 first leg advantage when they host Chelsea on Tuesday.
A 12 point lead at the top of the league table means if all goes well, Ancelloti’s men could land two trophies this season.
For Chelsea, this is a huge mountain to climb. If they are to have any chance of making the Champions League last four, they must score at least 3 un replied goals.
Real’s desire for a 13th UCL title and Chelsea’s quest for back to back European triumph for the first time in their history, makes this a tie to look forward to.
We will be working with odds offered by 22bet and Mybet.Africa for this UCL betting tips.
REAL MADRID
Their 3-1 win at Chelsea was their first victory against the blues in European competition, having drawn three and lost two of the last 5 meetings before that win.
Undoubtedly, Real Madrid are a force to reckon with in Europe’s elite club football competition. In fact, they have qualified for the next knockout stage in 9 of their last 10 matches after winning the first leg away from home.
Despite their impressive run in this tournament, they will be working against a repeat of 2018/19 season when they lost 1-4 at home Ajax after initially beating the Dutch side 2-1 away.
CHELSEA
The 3-1 first leg loss came after an embarrassing 4-1 home defeat to Brentford. Last time out, Tuchel’s men avoided 3 consecutive losses by thumping Southampton 6-0 away from home.
Although, overturning this deficit is a Herculean task, the win at St Mary’s would bolster Chelsea confidence going into this match.
The blues will be hoping to equal their biggest margin of victory away from home in the Champions League knockout stage. However, they have only scored more than two goals away from home in this competition’s knock-out phase. That was in 2008/09 season when they beat Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield.
