Horse Racing Real Madrid vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips: Tuesday April 12th
I’ve gone for a Tuesday evening bet builder at odds of 13.00, as Real Madrid play host to Chelsea and with the hosts in possession of a healthy lead from the first leg, it means the visitors’ grip on the Champions League trophy is looking rather weak.
Holders for now, but how long can they hold on? That is the question that everyone is asking of Chelsea before their midweek jaunt to Madrid and after being the latest team to feel the wrath of Karim Benzema, they now have a herculean task ahead of them.
One that sees Chelsea having to score at least twice to keep the tie alive and if they only manage that number at the Santiago Bernabeu, then conceding at the other end is of no use to Thomas Tuchel at all.
At least not in the first 90 minutes anyway and if Chelsea are to somehow advance to the next stage of this season’s Champions League, they may have to rely on an additional half-hour or even penalties to get them over the line.
While if they do win 2-0 in 90 minutes, not only will it unlock an additional 30 against Los Blancos, but it will also pay out a hefty sum at the time and for those feeling brave, odds of 13.00 may be worth your consideration.
With that said, Real Madrid will be in no mood for overtime and with the way Karim Benzema is playing recently, he can hurt opposition defences in no time at all – something that both PSG and Chelsea supporters know very well.

With a trio of goals in each of his last two Champions League outings, Benzema is seemingly ageing like a fine footballing wine and although Carlo Ancelotti’s men were not considered favourites or anything near likely finalists, the rest of Europe is certainly paying attention now.
Because when it comes to pedigree in this competition, Real Madrid have the lot and with 13 previous successes in either the European Cup or Champions League guises, number 14 is now approaching a lot closer on the horizon.
Of course, dreams of a trip to Paris are exactly that at this point in time and even though they have a 3-1 lead from last Wednesday’s encounter at Stamford Bridge, that does not mean that the task in hand is already complete.
In fact, it is only half done and after recording a routine win in LaLiga at the weekend, their 2-0 victory at home to Getafe will be considered the perfect tune-up for the visit of Chelsea on Tuesday evening.
Then again, when it comes to a tune-up, Chelsea revved through the gears last Saturday and after getting the better of Southampton by six goals to nil, any suggestions of a demise of have perhaps been somewhat premature.
In terms of Tuesday’s market, a standard Real Madrid win or their qualification will not make the bookmakers sweat all that much. Then again, a home win in the draw no bet market at odds of 1.91 may just begin a period of perspiration.

WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?
A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
