Chelsea vs Real Madrid 18.04.2023

Chelsea have failed to take off under new interim manager Frank Lampard. A 2-1 loss to Brighton over the weekend meant they have now gone 5 games without a win (D1 L4). The Blues already lost the 1st leg of this tie 2-0 and have a lot of ground to cover if they are to make it to the next round. Their biggest problem is lack of goals, with only 1 goal scored in their last 5 games.

Champions League defending champions Real Madrid got one foot in the semi-finals after beating Chelsea 2-0 in the 1st leg of this tie. With 4 wins in their last 5 games and a whooping 16 goals scored in the process, Los Blancos will be confident of making it past this tie. On-form striker Karim Benzema scored again in the 2-0 win over Cadiz over the weekend and will be leading the attack here alongside red-hot Vinicius Junior.

Based on recent form and overall pedigree, we fancy Real Madrid to get a win or draw in this match and qualify for the semi-finals.
