Chelsea vs Real Madrid live stream, TV channel, lineups, betting odds for Champions League match

Chelsea are playing to keep their season alive on Tuesday when Real Madrid visit the struggling Blues in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

Following a 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton on Saturday, Chelsea have lost all three of head coach Frank Lampard's matches so far during his second spell in charge.

With qualification for European competition next season now extremely unlikely through their Premier League position, only a comeback against the holders, who are 2-0 ahead from the first leg, will give the hosts a realistic chance of being in the 2023/24 Champions League.

Here's all the key information on the match, including kickoff time, live streaming and TV channels, lineups, and betting odds.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid lineups

Striker Karim Benzema becomes the fifth player to make 150 Champions League appearances, joining a club that only currently comprises Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Messi and Xavi Hernandez.

Toni Kroos is now one of 16 players to have made 150 appearances in UEFA club competition matches.

Below are the confirmed starting lineups for both teams ahead of their Champions League match at Stamford Bridge on April 18.

Chelsea starting 11

(5-4-1): Kepa (GK) — James, Fofana, Silva, Chalobah, Cucurella — Kante, Fernandez, Kovacic, Gallagher — Havertz

• Injured: Broja, Koulibaly,
• Suspended: Chilwell

Ben Chilwell's and Kalidou Koulibaly are unavailable due to the respective red card and injury they suffered during the first leg. Marc Cucurella and Cesar Azpilicueta come into the back five behind what looks like a packed midfield. Kai Havertz was a doubt with a knee injury but starts as Chelsea's only recognised attacker.

Real Madrid starting 11

(4-3-3): Courtois (GK) — Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga — Valverde, Kroos, Modric — Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

• Injured: Mendy
• Suspended: None

Ancelotti is a creature of habit in the Champions League and stuck with an unchanged starting XI from the first leg.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid prediction, betting odds

With one goal in their past five games as part of a six-match winless run, it is hard to foresee Chelsea challenging opponents who have won four of their past five and had 10 shots on target to three in the first leg.

Chelsea could go for broke in their last attempt to salvage something from a troubled season, but their lack of direction and conviction seems to have worsened since Lampard returned. Madrid are well off the pace in the Spanish top flight, so they will also be highly motivated to complete the job.

Prediction: Real Madrid to win 3-1
