Estadio Alfredo di Stefano will host the defending La Liga Champions Real Madrid and Chelsea on 28th April 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are slightly in favor of Real Madrid to win the first leg. Both the teams will go for this trophy as they are not doing that great in the title race in their respective league.

Teams Status

Real Madrid’s poor run of form in the last two matches led them to trail in the title race.

They scored 18 goals and conceded 11 in the Champions League so far. In La Liga, they are in the second position with 71 points from 33 matches.

Karim Benzema has been an exceptional goal scoring for Madrid with five and 21 goals in the Champions League and La Liga respectively. The veterans Luka Modic and Toni Kroos are leading the assists list with three and two assists. Toni Kroos is likely to miss the next match due to physical discomfort. Apart from him, Federico Valverde, Ferland Mendy and Lucas Vazquez could also miss.

Tipster’s Angel

A low scoring thriller is on the cards when these two teams go head to head in Madrid. Both the teams are in exceptional form recently and it won’t be surprising if this match ends in a stalemate.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.65

In the last five matches that Real Madrid has played across all competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored in three of those matches. Even four of the last seven matches that Real has played had under 2.5 goals scored. In the last six matches that Chelsea has played across competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored in five of those matches. Also, under 2.5 goals were scored in eight of the last ten matches that Chelsea has played. Apart from that, under 2.5 goals were scored in three of the last four away matches that Chelsea has played. Even Real had two matches out of the last four home matches with under 2.5 goals scored in them. So, it is very likely that under 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.65 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 1.85

Both teams have seen a quite fewer number of goals in recent matches that they have played. In the last five matches that Real Madrid has played across competitions, both teams failed to score in four of those matches. Even in the last seven matches, both teams scored in just two matches only. Chelsea on the other hand had both teams not scoring in four of their last five matches. Also, eight of the last ten matches that Chelsea played in all competitions had both teams failing to score. In the last four away matches that Chelsea played in all competitions, both teams scored in just one match. While both teams scored in just two of the four home matches that Real had played recently. So, it is very likely that both teams will not find the back of the net at 1.85 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Real Madrid are looking like a strong unit in the Champions League and are the favorites to make it to the finals. But Chelsea are the dark horses in the tournament and could upset a lot of teams.
