Champions League: Super Single and McBookie Bet Builder

CHELSEA crashed out of the Champions League at the Bernabeu last season and the bookies don’t give them much hope tonight as they return to Real Madrid’s home.

McBookie make the Blues 4/1 for a win in Spain, with Carlo Ancelotti’s men just 4/6, and it’s hard to disagree with those odds.

Chelsea’s preparations for this tie could hardly have been any worse, with Graham Potter binned then Frank Lampard brought back as interim gaffer.

He began with a 1-0 loss at Wolves and the team continues to misfire up front so I fancy Real Madrid at -1 in the handicap tonight (2/1, McBookie).

Liverpool found Vinicius Junior too hot to handle in the last round and the Brazilian is 9/4 at Unibet for anytime scorer.

The midfield battle will be key and I fancy Mateo Kovacic for a card at 15/4 with Unibet.

The other quarter-final tie tonight is an all-Italian affair as AC Milan host Napoli.

It’s a tricky one to call because Napoli are running away with Serie A but crashed to a 4-0 loss when they last faced Milan.

With these teams knowing each other so well the best option might be the half-time draw and that pays 21/20 at McBookie.

I’m expecting a busy night for the ref and over 5.5 cards appeals at 6/5 with Paddy Power.

The odds are better for individual cards and I fancy Stanislav Lobotka at 23/5 with Unibet as he was booked in the last meeting.

• Super singles: Real -1 handicap (2/1, McBookie), Over 5.5 cards in Milan (6/5, P Power).
• McBookie bet builder: Combining a Vinicius Jnr goal with over 1.5 match strikes pays 209/100.
