Chelsea to Win
The home team has been in a pretty great form in the past couple of months and they've got a positive result from the first leg, so they can even reach the finals with a scoreless draw in London. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has been rather unconvincing in the past few weeks and they're also struggling with injuries. So, we expect to see a very close game and we think that Chelsea can edge out Real in the end.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
This prediction is the same as we offered for the first leg, which came true in the end despite the fact that we've seen two goals being scored in the first half. As we said back then, Chelsea has been great defensively with Tuchel at the helm and they've kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight Premier League games. Meanwhile, Real Madrid didn't concede in their four last La Liga matches. In addition to this, both teams can move to the finals by scoring one goal, as long as they keep their net intact, so their focus will certainly be on the defensive end.
Both Teams to Score – No
In line with our previous prediction, we also don't expect both teams to score in this game. Although that's exactly what happened in the first leg, the way in which these two teams have been playing recently suggests that we won't see both teams scoring in the second leg. Furthermore, both teams have scored in just 27% of Chelsea games in the Champions League. And while this percentage is higher for Real Madrid at 55%, this still sounds like a reasonable bet.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid preview: An open duel for a spot in the Champions League final
The Blues have turned their season around after letting Lampard go and hiring Thomas Tuchel. The team has since moved into the top four in the English Premier League, reached the FA Cup final, and are one game away from appearing in the Champions League final as well. Chelsea has won five of their last eight Premier League games and they've only lost one match of their last 15 league games. In the Champions League, they've eliminated Atletico Madrid and Porto. Kovacic and Rudiger are the only two players with injuries at the club right now and they are unlikely to play in the second leg of the CL semi-finals.
Despite some surprising slip-ups in the Spanish League, Real Madrid is still very much in the mix for the title. With four games to go, they are only two points behind their city rivals Atletico, so we can expect a lot of excitement in La Liga. Meanwhile, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals didn't go as planned for Real since they've failed to win at home and will have to look for a ticket to the CL Final in Istanbul in London. One of the bigger problems in this plan is their injury list since Valverde, Mendy, Carvajal, Ramos, and Lucas are all unavailable for this match.
