Chelsea are +230 underdogs, and while Real Madrid have only one triumph in their last four games in all competitions, the oddsmakersdon’t favor the Blues. Both clubs have previously knocked out a club from their opponent’s country, with Chelsea being the better side from the Atletico Madrid Round of 16 matchups, and the Whites beating Liverpool in the Quarter-Finals.
An interesting fact is that Real Madrid are yet to win in their first game against Chelsea in their history of clashes.However, in spite of that, FanDuel believe that they will finally claim their first victory in four games on Tuesday, as they are at +135. Considering the fact that Madrid have been unbeaten since January 30,betting that the game ends in a 2-1 win for the home side could be a sure bet, at +850, a$100 bet could earn the bettor $850.
