Los Blancos and the Blues met several times in the UEFA Champions League, most recently over the past two years. And in the end, the matchup winner went on to conquer Europe and win the continental title. That gladdens both parties here, who have the same ambitions as before. Neither of these units enjoys a good run in the domestic championship and is the only place where they could get proper satisfaction.

Real Madrid vs. Chelsea Preview

Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti’s crew exploded in Barcelona, defeating their archenemies 0-4, and not only erasing a one-goal deficit from the first leg but sending a strong message that the King is still present and that he isn’t going anywhere.

Karim Benzema entered his madness zone, with the French veteran netting three goals at Camp Nou, and schooling the rivals, sometimes making them look pretty funny.

Real Madrid won the past three events at home, beating Espanyol, Liverpool, and Valladolid last Sunday, whom they trashed 6-0. Ancelotti’s attackers are on fire these days, which encourages their fans.

Chelsea

Meanwhile, Chelsea found a replacement for the unlucky Graham Potter. Frank Lampard is back home, with the former captain making a full circle after he departed from Stamford Bridge. It remains unclear whether Lampard can make something positive out of this time, but overall, the atmosphere is far better now than before.

The Blues have only one win away from home in the past ten events, and that was the one against Leicester midway through March. Previously, the 2021 European champs had ten consecutive appearances in a row without success.

Lampard will put some of the pieces back in the puzzle, and knowing his approach to young players, he might be able to improve the Blues, who have plenty of youngsters.

Real Madrid vs. Chelsea Head to Head

Los Blancos and the Blues met in two of the latest Champions League editions. Two years ago, Chelsea was better, playing 1-1 in Madrid and then beating Los Blancos 2-0 in London. Last season, Real was better at Stamford, 1-3, and they kept the edge in Madrid, losing 3-1, but advancing following the extra times in which they scored.

Real Madrid vs. Chelsea Prediction

This will be a very competitive matchup, with both sides avoiding risk and opening up early. Lampard is in a very nasty situation here, so we presume that the former captain is going to be defensive-minded. Under 2.5 goals is the pick we chose for Wednesday’s contest.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
