Real Madrid v Chelsea: Betting Preview
Chelsea recently sacked Potter and the firing of the coach came in a poor timing in the eyes of many. Could the arrival of Lampard as a caretaker manager change radically the mood of the squad and boost morale?
And if he can, is it enough to beat Real Madrid? Los Blancos are in pretty decent form. While it’s fair to say that they often underperform when they don’t use Camavinga or Mendy as a left back, the squad is still considerably oiled, or at least a lot more than Chelsea.
The biggest problem for Chelsea now seems to be the lack of a clear formation, strategy and team chemistry to accommodate all the expensive arrivals of last January.
Betting Preview
In the 1×2 market, the odds for a victory of Real Madrid are 1.70 on average, which is the mathematically equivalent of Real Madrid -0.5 @1.70 in the decimal system.
The odds for a victory of Chelsea are 5.0 on average, and the odds for a match draw are 3.70 on most bookies.
Nothing seems to be overly valuable here as the chances of Madrid winning this one should be somewhere between 50% and 75%, and if we’re right and if their chances are right in between these extremes, odds of Real Madrid winning @ 62.5% would mean 100% / 62.5 % = 1.60 (fair odds) which means no great value.
I guess the best chance to profit here is if Chelsea scores very early and stops attacking at all, or if Real Madrid proves to be dominating the actions in the attacking zone late in the game as these odds tend to melt into a more palatable -0.5 @2.20+ or even -1/4 ball, and depending on the circumstances, even [email protected]+ which could be quite interesting.
