Real Madrid and Chelsea will trade tackles in a UEFA Women's Champions League fixture on Tuesday (December 17th). The game will be played at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 4-1 comeback away win over Deportivo La Coruna in the Spanish Liga F. They went into the break behind to Francisca Lara's 36th-minute strike. However, a stunning fightback saw Las Blancas score four goals from the 79th minute onwards, with Olga Carmona, Alba Redondo, Maria Mendez and Signe Bruun scoring a goal each.
Chelsea, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw away to Leicester City in the Women's Super League. Deearna Goodwin put the hosts ahead in the 20th minute while Wieke Kaptein equalized with 13 minutes left on the clock.
The Blues will now shift their focus to Europe, where their last game saw them claim a 6-1 home win over Twente. Real Madrid secured a 3-0 away victory against Celtic during their last game in this competition.
The win left them in second spot in Group B with 12 points to show for their efforts in five games. Chelsea lead the way at the summit on 15 points.

Real Madrid Women vs Chelsea Women Prediction
This will be a direct battle for top spot in the group and Real Madrid need to win by a two-goal margin to finish first while a draw would be enough for Chelsea. However, Alberto Toril's side have never won a game against their visitors.
The Londoners saw their 14-game winning start to the season end over the weekend and will be keen for an immediate bounce back.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
