Chelsea v Real Madrid – Click here to bet
Chelsea came from behind to see off Dortmund 2-1 on aggregate in their Round of 16 match, but they found Real Madrid too strong away from home when they went down 2-0 in the 1st leg of the quarter-final. Karim Benzema opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 21st minute and Marco Asensio ensured that Real Madrid would take a comfortable lead at Stamford Bridge with a 74th minute goal.
Chelsea have been in poor form in all competitions and are 6 matches without a victory and have lost their last 3 games, 2 of which were League fixtures.
Real Madrid saw off Liverpool 6-2 on aggregate in the Round of 16 and they justified 7/10 favouritism when the beat Chelsea 2-0 at home in their first leg. Madrid warmed up for this game with a 2-0 win over Cadiz EF on the weekend and they have won 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
An out of form Chelsea side will have no choice, but to push forward and try and get an early goal and this could leave them exposed at the back although Real Madrid don’t have to win this game to progress I am expecting them to go through in comprehensive fashion.
Suggested Bet: Real Madrid win at 29/20

Napoli v AC Milan – Click here to bet
Napoli were too strong for Eintracht Frankfurt in their Round of 16 match winning 5-0 on aggregate. They were then marginal underdogs away to AC Milan in the 1st leg of their quarter-finals where they went down 1-0 with AC Milan grabbing the winner by Ismael Bennacer in the 40th minute. Napoli played out a goalless draw at home to Verona on the weekend, but no doubt had an eye on this clash.
AC Milan were too good for Tottenham in the Round of 16 winning a low scoring double header by an aggregate of 1-0. They repeated the 1-0 victory they got over Tottenham at home when they beat Napoli in the 1st leg and AC Milan haven’t conceded a goal in their last 5 Champions League matches. They played out a 1-1 draw away at Bologna in the League on the weekend and have only lost 1 of their last 7 matches although 4 of those have been drawn.
Napoli are 15/20 to win the match and I do think they are going to get the job done against AC Milan and will back them to qualify at even money.
Suggested Bet: Napoli to qualify at 1/1
