Here's our Chelsea vs Real Madrid Prediction analysis: On a Wednesday night of European football, Real Madrid will make a trip to England, as they lock horns with Chelsea in the second leg of their semi-final tie in the Champions League.

The spoils were shared at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano when both sides met in the opening leg of this contest last Tuesday. Although this tie is delicately poised on a knife edge, Chelsea seem to have an upper hand, going into the return leg, having picked up a priceless away-goal advantage in Spain.

However, Real Madrid will head into this game in high spirits following their important victory against Osasuna in the Spanish La Liga, albeit their English counterparts won't be short of confidence either, having secured their own league win in the weekend.

In the opening leg, marred by heavy downpour at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano, it all ended in a 1-1 stalemate. While Timo Werner continued his selective misery in front of goal, with a miss typical of his whole season, Christian Pulisic continued to dazzle in his newly-found goalscoring boots, leaving a bamboozled Thibaut Courtois in the dirt, as he fired past the two Real Madrid defenders to give Chelsea the lead.

Real Madrid, however, responded on about the half-hour mark with an equalizer courtesy of a delightful Karim Benzema's strike. The quality of both side's performances took a downturn after halftime, leaving them on level terms at fulltime.

And Chelsea followed this performance with a match-winning display against Fulham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, setting the tone for their impending second-leg with the Spanish champions on the same turf. Kai Havertz, who seem to be regaining his lost confidence, scored at the beginning of both halves to claim a straightforward 2-0 victory for the Blues.

Although Chelsea's quest for a top-four finish in the Premier League is all but concluded, they are currently in a fairly strong position, as they still have a three-point cushion to bank on. However, going all the way to Istanbul, and going on to clinch their second-ever Champions League title would surely be a better way to end their season.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are locked in a four-way battle for the La Liga title, with Atletico Madrid leading the way with 76 points from 34 league games, while current champions Real Madrid sit level on points with rivals Barcelona, two points adrift the summit.

In their last outing, Real Madrid managed to claim a crucial 2-0 victory over Osasuna at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano. Having struggled to get a grip on the game, Los Blancos finally found a way through in the final 15 minutes of the contest.

Goals from unusual goalscorers in Eder Militao and Casemiro helped Zinedine Zidane's men navigate through to a win. And this victory marked their 19th successive match in all competitions without defeat, and they will hope to add a favourable result from this trip to England to the scintillating run.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid Predictions

While Real Madrid's defence might have missed some key elements in Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane, they still have been very impressive at the back. In fact, they have kept five clean sheets in their last six matches in all competitions.

Quite frankly, it's proving difficult to separate both sides on paper, given their current form. We expect free-flowing attacking football at the Bridge, with no less than two goals on the scoresheet come fulltime.
