Real Madrid vs Chelsea FC: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results today

Chelsea have their work cut out as they travel to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals tonight.

The Blues head to the Santiago Bernabeu looking to overturn a two-goal deficit after a Karim Benzema masterclass secured a 3-1 first-leg advantage for Los Blancos at Stamford Bridge six days ago.

Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea bounced back at the weekend with a 6-0 demolition job against Southampton and will hope to carry some of that momentum into tonight’s tough contest.

Meanwhile, Madrid cruised past local rivals Getafe 2-0 in LaLiga - a game in which Gareth Bale was booed.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea prediction

Chelsea may well get close to rescuing this tie but it is hard to see them keeping a clean sheet, with one goal likely enough to earn Los Blancos their passage to the final four.

However, the abolishment of the away goals rule does aid Chelsea’s cause and could make for a more interesting evening.

Chelsea to win, 2-1.
