Tipster’s Angel

A low-scoring thriller is on the cards similar to the first leg for this semifinal. By considering the home conditions, Chelsea have an advantage over Real Madrid. But Real Madrid can defeat any opponent on their day.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.65

Also, in the last five matches that Chelsea has played at home, under 2.5 goals were scored in four of those matches. In the last seven matches that Real Madrid has played across all competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored in five of those matches. Also, under 2.5 goals were scored in two of the last three away matches. Similar to the first leg, a low-scoring encounter could also be seen in the second leg as well.
