Football – Europe – Champions League Betting Tips
German outfit Wolfsburg face a tough encounter on Wednesday night even though they hold home advantage at their Volkswagen Arena when they entertain Spanish giants Real Madrid in the first leg of this mouth-watering quarter-final.
Wolfsburg overcame Belgian outfit Gent in the previous round winning 4-2 on aggregate over their two-legged encounter to progress to this stage, but they face a mountain to climb against a cock-a-hoop Real Madrid side who recently secured bragging rights over Barcelona in ‘El Classico’.
Back to Wolfsburg though, and they’ve won their last four home matches in this competition with wins over CSKA Moscow, PSV, Manchester United and Gent and the hosts will be keen to get an early jump on Real Madrid in this first leg as their away form has been pretty inconsistent (3 wins, 4 defeats).
Visitors Real Madrid are in red-hot form right now as they beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp in ‘El Classico’ on the weekend which handed them their sixth win on the trot in all competitions, and they’ll certainly be eyeing off a semi-final place in the Champions League at the expense of their German counterparts Wolfsburg.
Real have won seven of their last eight matches overall in the Champions League while their away form has also been excellent, suffering just one defeat from their last 11 on their travels, and with recent wins secured at Shakhtar Donetsk and Roma (along with their La Liga win away at Barcelona), they look the goods right now.
