Why you should back Real Madrid
Los Blancos have lost just one of their nine matches in the Champions League thus far and have won four in a row. They have allowed more than one goal only twice and posted back-to-back clean sheets to double their total in the competition. The club has been just as good offensively as they are tied for third in scoring with 23 goals.
Winger Vinicius Junior is the top scorer for Los Blancos with six goals and is tied for first in the UCL with five assists. After failing to convert in his first four games in the competition, Karim Benzema has elevated his play and gotten favorable results. The 35-year-old French striker has produced four goals over his last three contests, recording a brace in the first leg of Real Madrid's Round of 16 tie against Liverpool and opening the scoring versus Chelsea last Wednesday. Benzema has scored seven times over his last five matches across all competitions. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back Chelsea
The Blues have gotten to this stage on the strength of their defense as they allowed fewer than two goals in each of their first eight Champions League matches before last week's defeat. In addition to another strong performance in that regard, they'll need to ramp it up at the other end of the pitch, as they've netted more than two goals only once in the competition - a 3-0 triumph over AC Milan in group play. That means much will be expected from the tandem of Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz.
Both players came up big in the second leg of Chelsea's Round of 16 tie against Borussia Dortmund as they each recorded a goal after the team suffered a 1-0 loss in the first leg. The 28-year-old Sterling leads the Blues with three goals in the competition and has converted four times in English Premier League action. Havertz, a 23-year-old German, has netted a pair of goals in the UCL and a team-high seven in the EPL. See who to back at SportsLine.
