Real Madrid game has just started and it seems very difficult for Chelsea to win in this 2nd leg match. in the first 10 minutes Chelsea's performance was very bad and Real Madrid had more control of the game and made attacks more dangerous.
if Chelsea play like this until the game ends I think they will lose again to Real Madrid.

Chelsea is valued more highly than Real Madrid, while Real Madrid really plays at home. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Chelsea won the previous match in Madrid quite easily? Madrid's match last week was better, and Madrid has Benzema. Without Benzema it will be a very different story. 1-3 is a large margin that Madrid has built up.
I think that the toughest game today can be Bayern Munich vs Villarreal. Because Villarreal performed great against their opponent in the first leg of the matchup. This performance has increased the level of expectations from Villarreal as well. Everyone must be curious about if they can maintain the same effort in defense and offense both in this game too. It is going to be very difficult I think. Because we must all be knowing how awesome Bayern Munich play in Allianz Arena. I expect a solid performance in offense from them.
Bayern Munich will play life and death against Villarreal at the Allianz Arena. Villarreal did win 1-0 in the first leg last. However, Unai Emery's troops are not completely safe. Munich are very favorites to take down the Yellow Submarine at home. However, the hosts must immediately look for a quick goal in this match, because the thing that is most worried for the Munich camp is that Unai Emery's troops will play negative football because they maintain their advantage.Unfortunately Bayern Munich lost in the first leg. But today's match will not have the same result. Bayern are a very strong team. They will continue to try their best to win. I don't think the Villarreal team is too strong. Villarreal will play in today's match for the purpose of drawing. So Bayern's players will have trouble scoring goals. But I have confidence in Lewandowski. He will bring victory to today's team
Bayern Munich are top favorites to win the match, but I saw the recap and clips of the match in Spain last week. Then Villareal was certainly no less, in fact, they should have won that game by a lot more goals. Also the bad luck that a player was 1 CM offside. Bayern is a team that can play hard at home with 6-1, for example, we saw that against Salzburg in the previous round. If Villareal plays like last week, Bayern will have a very tough night.

This is one of the most anticipated Champions League games. Of course, it will be difficult for Villarreal in the Alliance Arena, because even Bayern are not in the best shape - they are the strongest team that can "destroy" any opponent (Barcelona will not let you lie), but my sympathies are on the side of the "yellow submarine". Unai Emery has put together a very good teamI do not believe that Chelsea can realistically threaten Real today in advancing to the next phase of the Champions League. Real are too experienced a team to allow this to happen. Rather, I think the hosts will be in control of the game and counter Chelsea when the opportunity arises. I bet both teams will score today.
Chelsea got a tough test to be able to catch up to a goal deficit from Real Madrid, but it is certain that this 2nd leg match will be fierce, Chelsea will play all out in this duel. The big win in the domestic league last week made the Blues' confidence increase, this thing needs to be watched out for by Madrid. Madrid is indeed the seed in this match, but there are still 90 minutes to really breathe easy, because Madrid must be able to reduce Chelsea's ambition to rise in this 2nd leg.
I know how Chelsea will anticipate in their defense to be tightened so that it is more difficult for Benzema to move to find opportunities but I think Real Madrid have a different strategy, this of course will definitely play more dominant at home why is that because I believe Benzema is a good spearhead in this match.
Honestly, I have bet on Real Madrid to be able to win more narrowly even though Chelsea has returned to normal after yesterday's victory in the EPL match I think this is difficult to predict but still on the conviction of my prediction Real Madrid can win.
Real Madrid won't lose, I'm sure they will win this match like the first leg before. Real Madrid just had to anticipate a possible Chelsea comeback today to score more goals, so trying a little defensively would not be a problem for them.Honestly, I have bet on Real Madrid to be able to win more narrowly even though Chelsea has returned to normal after yesterday's victory in the EPL match I think this is difficult to predict but still on the conviction of my prediction Real Madrid can win.
Real Madrid can win by more than 2 goals today even though Chelsea were really scary in their last match in the EPL, but there is no reason to let this advantage crumble especially Real Madrid playing at home. Home advantage will be put to good use by Real Madrid like beating PSG in the last 16.
Real Madrid - Chelsea game is about to start. Real Madrid can be seen as one step ahead here but bookies are thinking a little different now. They think that Real Madrid and Chelsea have equal chances to win this game. And I also believe that we might see a draw here. But it really depends on Real Madrid's effort especially. If they fight hard like they did in the first leg, then they would automatically be one step ahead for real. We saw how much Chelsea struggled to defend them (especially Benzema in fact). Ancelotti might have a similar game plan because of it.

Real Madrid will definitely be dominant at home, but only if they don't try a strategy to maintain their lead because I don't think Real Madrid will play as well as expected with a defensive strategy. But Ancelotti is a coach who understands situations like this and for sure winning will be the target as well. Just like you, Real Madrid will win with an attacking strategy.Honestly, I have bet on Real Madrid to be able to win more narrowly even though Chelsea has returned to normal after yesterday's victory in the EPL match I think this is difficult to predict but still on the conviction of my prediction Real Madrid can win.
But indeed they both use the same 4-3-3 formation but in a slightly different strategy.
Can't wait to watch this match.

I don't know why but bookmakers are favouring Chelsea to win by a slight margin now. It is like this even though the match is going to be played in Santiago Bernabeu. This seems to me really interesting because Benzema will be able to play in this match also. I think that Real Madrid can be given another chance to win here. Their odd is around 2.60 now and it is quite favourable I believe. I've already bet on Real Madrid to win one more time and I won't be sad if it ends in a draw. But I'm feeling sure about one thing which is Chelsea cannot win this.
I looked at the odds, what strikes me is that according to the bookmakers Chelsea and Real Madrid have equal chances of winning the match. Given the game picture last week, Real Madrid should still be favorites to win this match as they now also have a home game. I actually thought it would be over and that Madrid would be through to the next round, but apparently Chelsea still have a chance to win here in Madrid, bizarre really. They will need a goal soon. Madrid has more than once given away a lead, just like against Ajax a few years ago. 1-4 lost at home.
Real Madrid managed to beat the host Chelsea in the first leg last. But this duel wasn't over yet. Chelsea are still determined to come back and turn the situation around. Madrid had to fight another 90 minutes to finish their job and get rid of Chelsea. Victory over Southampton makes Chelsea more confident. Madrid seems to have to try extra hard if they want to get rid of the team that last season tripped them in the semifinals. Even though they are seeded, Madrid must remain vigilant in this 2nd leg, a bitter experience Ancelotti has experienced in his career, namely feeling a special comeback from the opposing team.
Tuchel task is to instruct his players to continue to monitor the movement of Benzema so that he cannot move freely into the Chelsea defense. It will be a threat if Benzema is allowed to roam around without strict control. Chelsea can still fix that vulnerability if they play consistently to score goals and strengthen the defense. Unfortunately, Real Madrid's tactics are indeed very difficult to anticipate. The difference in points seems to be very thin.
I know that beating Real Madrid is not an easy task after winning the first leg 1-3 at home to Chelsea, but after seeing Chelsea's comeback in the last game then I believe that something can still change if Chelsea really want to qualify semifinals. Of course Benzema needs a tight guard in the second leg if Chelsea don't want to concede more goals because 1 Real Madrid goal will make Chelsea's spirit collapse even more to win the match.It is a difficult mission for Chelsea but I think they are still possible to win it.
Real Madrid does depend a bit on Benzema but I think locking Benzema could also be a boomerang for Chelsea because other Real Madrid players can move more freely and it could be that the Chelsea player assigned to block Benzema even failed to carry out his role.

The bookmakers only use the stats to make predictions. Bookmakers are already giving the game to Chelsea like they did in the first leg. I think Chelsea could win the game today but they might not go through. Chelsea need to win the game with a 2 goal difference and I don’t see Real Madrid conceding two goals. Chelsea are going out tonight.

True, that scenario might help Chelsea get a chance in today's second leg. But let's see what happens in the first half because I believe Chelsea are very uncomfortable with the result of the first leg. Less than 1 hour to the match. 
I'm sure Chelsea have no chance of beating Real... Real Madrid have 2 points to spare... The best Chelsea can do today is a draw... Real will qualify for the semi-finals and Chelsea will go home without a win... But I think we can risk a multi bet on both teams scoring here and a win for Bayern! 
A big hurdle and obstacle for Chelsea to reduce the two goals tally in Bernabeu home ground of Real Madrid, with Benzema in top of his game, Rüdiger and Tiago Silva has a big task ahead in closing on and marking this in-form striker.Chelsea should go out and play attacking football if they really want to get a good result from this encounter, however they should as well avoid being vulnerable at back in their defence else they will concede goals, also playing defensively is neither a better option, the best bet is to play counter attacking football.

In the meantime, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku will not travel to Madrid for Chelsea's Champions League quarterfinal second leg match. It is the right decision to play Werner. During this game, Werner, Mount and Havertz are going to run for their lives. The match should be exciting. A winning team should not be changed. Let's hope for some positive results tonight. There is 1% chance, and 99% faith. There is nothing that motivates a man more than to believe. Might there be a super turnaround? Maybe it's already lost? I'll go with Real Madrid!
