Why Real Madrid is a good bet versus Chelsea

Real Madrid has their sights on a second straight Champions League title. But just because Real Madrid is concentrating on winning the Champions League, it doesn’t mean they aren’t playing great soccer no matter the team they face.

Real has a single loss in their last 5. It came against Villareal at home in a match right after El Blanco dusted rival Barcelona 4-0 in a Copa del Rey matchup, and it was by a goal. Real plays hard no matter the opponent. We should expect Carlo Ancelotti’s team to give it their all.

Final Betting Analysis: Real Madrid at Chelsea

A 2-goal lead makes Real Madrid difficult to beat. It also makes this match incredibly difficult to handicap. Ancelotti could decide to have El Blanco play a conservative match. Ah, but here’s the thing: even if Real plays conservatively, they should still win this game. Why? The Blues are reeling.

Interim coach Frank Lampard blasted Chelsea for their lack of effort in the 1-2 loss to Brighton & Hove at Stamford Bridge over the weekend.

The Blues trust Lampard, but they know he’s an interim coach. Chelsea players, for sure, don’t trust the new organization.

The home team in this won’t go all out to beat Real Madrid. We should expect a lackadaisical effort from the Premier League squad. Real, even if they’re not trying to, wins this match.
