‘A threat game! Michael Owen gives shocking prediction for Chelsea vs Real Madrid clash
Chelsea defeated Real Madrid 2-0 at Stamford Bridge last season, as the two sides played in the Champions League semi-final last campaign, en route to Chelsea winning the Champions League.
However, Michael Owen has given his prediction for the upcoming Champions League games, and the ex Liverpool and Real Madrid striker has come up with some interesting predictions.
Despite Chelsea’s recent slump against Brentford, Owen is backing Chelsea to win this tie 3-1.
“This is a really interesting tie, particularly with these two having met in last year’s semi-final,” Owen told BetVictor.
“Chelsea won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in that tie, but it could have been four or five. Real looked slow and leggy in that tie, and I don’t see huge improvement in them.
“[Karim] Benzema and Vinicius [Junior] have been brilliant this season and they will be a threat. I’m going for a Chelsea win though, 3-1.”
