For Real Madrid vs. Chelsea, Eimer is backing Real Madrid on the 90-minute money line for a -140 payout. Real Madrid has had a disappointing season from a domestic standpoint, but their struggles to keep up with rival Barcelona pale in comparison with what has transpired in Chelsea.
The Blues are winless in their last four matches and have turned to former manager and club legend Frank Lampard to be the caretaker until they can find a permanent manager after firing Thomas Tuchel. Now, they're taking on a club that eliminated them a season ago and whose confidence is sky-high after a 6-2 win on aggregate over Liverpool.
"With their domestic campaign is essentially over with Barcelona sitting a pretty 13 points ahead of them, the focus has shifted entirely to Champions League domination," Eimer told SportsLine. "These are the returning champs and my word have they come back in explosive fashion off the international break." Stream the game here.
