Chelsea’s win over West Ham on Saturday boosted their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League but they had no time to celebrate as the Blues’ attention was immediately turned to the final four of the Champions League.
Thomas Tuchel takes his men to Madrid on Tuesday for the first-leg of their semi-final against Real Madrid.
Like his opposite number, Zinedine Zidane, Tuchel understands the importance of keeping things tight in the first leg of these huge two-legged contests and we think they could play out a tense, low scoring match with the draw well priced at 9/4 with Virgin Bet.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea Betting Odds:
As much as the Chelsea fans were upset that it didn’t work out for Frank Lampard since his transition from player to manager, they are all very happy with the impact that Tuchel has had since taking over at Stamford Bridge.
There is certainly room for improvement in terms of the attacking threat that Chelsea pose but they are a very difficult team to beat and it’s that which has seen them make it into the Champions League semi-final, FA Cup final and the top four.
Whereas Chelsea head into Tuesday’s match on the back of an important win, the weekend was full of frustration for Real Madrid.
Los Merengues were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Real Betis seeing them lose ground in the title race but we all know just how historically good they are in the Champions League.

Zidane knows that Chelsea pose a greater threat to Real Madrid than an out of sorts Liverpool did in the last round.
He’ll also back his team to score potentially vital away goals at Stamford Bridge next week.
With both managers happy with a tight match, consider backing the 1-1 correct score at 11/2 with bet365*.
If Chelsea do score an away goal, it may well come via a piece of magic from Christian Pulisic at 3/1 with BetVictor who is fit and working his way back to his best form.
