Real Madrid vs Chelsea: Match preview
Real Madrid are performing well in this season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League, with four wins and one loss so far. Their only defeat came against Chelsea, 2-3, in the away fixture. Domestically, Madrid are also in solid form, with 28 points from 11 matches, though they trail league leaders Barcelona by 11 points. Even with two games in hand, they won’t be able to overtake Barcelona after losing to them 0-4 at home. Despite this, Real Madrid have shown resilience and remain competitive this season.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are in exceptional form across all competitions. They remain unbeaten this season and have won all five of their UEFA Women’s Champions League matches, including the 3-2 victory over Real Madrid. With a goal difference of 17-5 and 15 points, Chelsea sit at the top of the Champions League group. In the Women’s Super League, Chelsea also lead the standings. In their most recent match, they dropped points for the first time this season in a 2-2 draw with Leicester. However, they have scored in every match this season, and no team has been able to stop their potent attack.
Predicted lineups
- Real Madrid: Misa; Hernandez, Galvez, Mendez, Carmona; Toletti, Weir, Angeldahl; Feller, Caicedo, Bruun.
- Chelsea: Hampton; Bronze, Bjorn, Bright, Charles; Nüsken, Kaptain; Rytting Kaneryd, Macario, Reiten; Ramirez.
Prediction
Both teams have already secured their places in the UEFA Women’s Champions League playoffs. This match will determine who finishes first in the group and who takes second place. While both sides are in good form, Chelsea appear to have the edge. I expect Chelsea to come out on top and suggest betting on Chelsea’s individual total of over 1.5 goals at odds of 1.78.
