Real Madrid vs. Chelsea FC
Tuesday, April 12, 2022 – 03:00 PM EDT at Santiago Bernabéu
Form, Mentality, and Trends
- Chelsea is undefeated in 19 of their last 22 Champions League games
- Chelsea has scored an average of 2.00 goals in their recent UCL meetings
- Real Madrid is undefeated in 8 of their last 9 Champions League home games
- Real Madrid has scored at least 1 goal in 10 consecutive UCL home matches
Huge Mountain to Climb for Chelsea
Real Madrid silenced the home support of Stamford Bridge's faithful last week. A 3-1 loss for the Blues has given them the most challenging task of all the teams remaining in the Champions League: to travel to the Bernabéu and overcome the scoreline they were handed in the first leg.
Chelsea responded perfectly following their loss to Los Blancos, a 6-0 dismantling of Southampton in domestic action was all the confidence boost they needed when heading to the hallowed grounds of the Bernabéu.

With that said, Real's home record has been impeccable this term. Their previous UCL outing at the Bernabéu was a 3-1 hammering over PSG.
They've won 5 of their previous 6 on home turf, and a mere 2 losses throughout the entire season on home soil is why the betting value points towards Los Blancos.
After rediscovering their goal-scoring prowess against Southampton, Chelsea is already gearing up for a high-scoring affair, and the chance of them breeching Real's back four is highly likely.
However, Thomas Tuchel has no choice but to approach Real Madrid with an attacking mindset. This will leave them wide open for the dynamic scoring of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.
Final Thoughts| Champions League Quarter-final Leg 2 Betting Odds
The Champions League betting odds have positioned plus money on each team whilst slightly favoring Los Blancos on the moneyline. Chelsea squad vying to defend their crown.
Over 2.5 goals at -133 is too tempting to ignore; with the Blues' all-out attacking mindset, we can expect goals at both ends on more than one occasion.
Score Prediction: Real Madrid 2 – Chelsea 2

Liverpool FC vs. SL Benfica
Wednesday, April 13, 2022 – 03:00 PM EDT at Anfield
Form, Mentality, and Trends
- Liverpool scores an average of 2.44 goals in their Champions League meetings
- Liverpool is undefeated in 9 of their last 10 Champions League fixtures
- Benfica is unbeaten in 5 of their previous 6 Champions League away matches
Light Work for Jurgen
Emphatic displays of soccer stemming from Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool squad have positioned the Reds with a great chance of obtaining a quadruple of trophies this term – domestically and in Europe.
And with such an authoritative first leg Champions League quarter-final meeting versus Benfica, this Wednesday's reverse fixture in front of the Liverpool fan base should be a walk in the park for Klopp and company.
Liverpool entered their first leg clash with a 3-1 success from the Estadio da Luz, a fixture that was evidence that this Benfica squad – with or without star boy Darwin Nunez – isn't on the same level as the Merseyside squad.

Benfica will be hoping tired legs from Liverpool's top of the English table battle with Manchester City will provide some benefits.
Still, the reality is that overturning a 2-goal deficit away from home is a big ask for Nelson Verissimo and his team.
The visitors will also arrive at Anfield with a rocky European away form, winning just 2 of their previous 12 Champions League away fixtures.
Final Thoughts| Champions League Quarter-final Leg 2 Betting Odds
For obvious reasons, the available Champions League odds expect Liverpool to dominate, and the moneyline juice isn't doing any of us any favors.
I believe Benfica will fight till the death, and scoring at least 1 goal isn't that much of an ask. Liverpool will walk away with another victory, but a consolation goal for the visitors can give us some respectable odds to wager on.
Score Prediction: Liverpool 4 – Benfica 1
Soccer Pick: Liverpool win and BTTS (+122) [2.20] [1u wager returns 1.20u of profit] with Everygame
