New manager Thomas Tuchel has turned Chelsea into a dominant defensive force that has achieved four clean sheets in their last five games across all competitions.
Tuchel is also the only active manager to have faced Real more than five times in UCL play without a single loss, winning once and drawing four different times.
However, they must now face a Madrid squad that has not lost in 19 straight outings and has its back against the wall.
The players to watch are on offense for both teams, with Karim Benzema and Pulisic looking to trade goals once again in this second leg.
Those looking to bet on the Champions League can find goal-scoring props for both players on the online sportsbooks.

Interestingly enough, former Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard will be taking the pitch Wednesday for Real Madrid.
After a long battle with constant injury, Hazard has not been able to get into form for the Spanish side since joining the team in 2019.
Now, he will have the opportunity to take revenge upon his old club in a storybook situation on the grandest stage in Europe.
