The reigning champion of Spain threw all its strength into conquering the Champions League, where it achieved serious success. The team passed the group stage, after which in the playoffs Madrid defeated Atalanta with a total score of 4:1 and afterwards, the champion of England (3:1 on aggregate). The performances of the “whites” in the Spanish Cup and Super Cup ended in failure, but all fans’ hopes are connected with the main club tournament in Europe. To date, the Galacticos’ unbeaten streak is 16 games and the team has not even conceded a goal in three matches. In the La Liga championship, the “creamy” are in a race after fellow countrymen from “Atletico”, which is three points behind. Hosts got a ticket to the Champions League early next year, but Zinedine Zidane’s task is a little different, that is to keep the title. After a draw with Getafe (0:0) Madrid beat Cadiz (3:0) away. Hazard, Valverde, Cross, Lucas, Mendy and Modric, who has back problems, will not be able to enter the pitch today.
The London club has a very busy schedule right now. The fight against West Ham will be the fifth for Thomas Tuchel’s charges in the last two weeks. During this period, although the retirees lost to Porto (0:1) in the Champions League, they made it to the semifinals of the tournament on aggregate. The London club also successfully played in the FA Cup semi-final confrontation with Manchester City, which beat Chelsea with a score 1:0 to become the finalist of the tournament. In the Premier League, the retirees beat Crystal Palace (4:1) and ended in a draw this week with Brighton (0:0). Chelsea’s standings have been described above. Thomas Tuchel’s team can also compete for third place, from which it is now only one point behind, although the Blues played more. On the road, the London club is now fifth in the Premier League. Of the 16 away matches, Chelsea have won eight. Chelsea have lost four more matches and drew the same number of times. There are practically no personnel losses from Thomas Tuchel. Due to injury, only midfielder Mateo Kovacic will not play in the match. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
