When preparing a forecast for Real Madrid - Chelsea, it is worth paying attention to their past meetings. Last year, the teams met twice in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the first match, Real Madrid won 3-1, but Chelsea took revenge in the second match with a score of 3-2. It is worth noting that Real Madrid won the championship in that tournament.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid is not having a very confident season – in the Spanish championship, maximum tasks were set before Carlo Ancelotti’s team, but so far they have not been able to cope with them. After 28 rounds, the “royal club” is in second place in the table with 59 points, 13 points behind the leader, “Barcelona”. Moreover, there is a risk of losing the second line – the third-placed “Atletico” is only two points behind. In the last round, “Real” managed to lose to “Villarreal”, despite leading twice. The disastrous ending finally crossed out the already small chances of winning the title. At the same time, in the Champions League, “Real” looks more than confident. In the round of 16, the “Whites” met with Liverpool and almost secured themselves a place in the quarterfinals in the first match, winning 5-2 at “Anfield”. However, even in Madrid, the “Reds” were beaten 1-0.

Chelsea
The current season is gradually turning into a disaster for Chelsea. With the arrival of a new owner, a large-scale transfer campaign was conducted aimed at rejuvenating the squad. In winter, the Blues also made a huge number of acquisitions and invited Graham Potter to the position of head coach, but the bet ultimately did not pay off, and nothing worked out for the Englishman. After a series of defeats, Graham Potter was sacked, and Frank Lampard was brought back to the club in the hope that his authority would influence the situation. However, in his very first match under his leadership, Chelsea lost 0-1 to Wolverhampton, extending their winless streak to four matches. Thus, the Pensioners are currently 11th in the table and are already 14 points behind the European Cup zone.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Real Madrid has been in great form lately, with a confident 4-0 victory over Barcelona in El Clasico and a 6-0 thrashing of Valladolid. In the last round, the "Los Blancos" stumbled, but there's no need to overestimate that result - they had given a lot in the match against Barcelona and had a Champions League match just a few days later, so a "royal" gift was given to Villarreal. Today, Real Madrid will undoubtedly strive only for victory, and it is unlikely that anything will stand in their way - Chelsea is in very poor form, there are problems in the team, and the favorites should be given preference. We believe that the guests have no chance. The prediction is the Asian handicap (-1) on Real Madrid. 1xBet offers this outcome at a coefficient of 2.35. "Real" is the undisputed favorite in the confrontation with "Chelsea" - much more stable compared to "Liverpool" and "Blues" simply did not notice the "cream". In the home game, "Real" will certainly try to provide themselves with a comfortable advantage and the chances of success are very high - "Chelsea" has problems with teamwork, both defense and attack suffer, and the favorite's victory will surely be confident. Our second bet will be a two-goal victory for "Real". Such a bet can be placed at odds of 5.05. Place a bet with
