Best Football Betting Tips Today: Real Madrid v Chelsea
What can Chelsea do in this first leg away from home to give them a shot at claiming the tie?
They are going to need to stick in there defensively, but defence is something that they have been very good at under Tomas Tuchel.
Chelsea area 21/10 underdogs on the night, understandably so. This is no easy away fixture.
The Blues hold a W3 D4 L5 away record in Spain in the knockout stages of European competitions.
They are behind W5 L7 in the head to head against Spanish teams in two-legged knockouts.
Chelsea have banked a clean sheet in four of their last six games in all competitions, a run which included an FA Cup final win over Man City and a crucial league success at West Ham on the weekend.
Real Madrid knocked out Liverpool in the last round, with all the damage being done in a 3-1 home win for them in the first leg.
Real Madrid are 13/10 to claim the victory in the first leg of this tie against more Premier League opposition.
The Spaniards have won only 5 of their last 11 European home matches actually.
They have won four of their last five two-legged ties against English opposition.
Real Madrid are not going to be easily knocked over in their own backyard and may be able to sneak a narrow advantage.
Real Madrid to win at 13/10

Football Betting Picks Today: Charlton v Crewe
We are in League One next for today’s football betting for a look at Charlton v Crewe.
There looks to be a good chance of a home win appearing in this fixture.
Charlton still have a lot to play for as a top-six finish is still within their sights.
They lost a little bit of momentum in their last fixture with a home loss against Peterborough on the weekend.
The Posh in second place in the tale, so the defeat for Charlton can be excused.
The Addicks are a quote of 7/10 to claim the victory in this fixture.
Crewe are not a major threat as they sit down in the bottom half of the table.
They have taken one win in their last five league fixtures (D2 L2).
The Railwaymen have produced some form with two wins in their last three away games, kindling one at Milton Keynes who are one place behind Charlton.
But Crewe are 4/1 underdogs for the fixture and they have lost their last two visits to Charlton as it is.
Charlton to win at 7/10

Football Betting Tips for Today: Sunderland v Blackpool
Sunderland’s drop in form has cost them an automatic promotion place. They are still heading towards the playoff though.
But the Black Cats have failed to win any of their last six league games now, losing three of those.
It is two without a victory for them at the Stadium of Light, moving their home record onto a W9 D7 L5 record.
Sunderland are 19/20 odds-on for the home win on Tuesday.
They have failed to win any of their last four home games though against Blackpool (D2 L2) and Sunderland are playing host to a fellow top-six team.
Blackpool have lost their last two league games, perhaps feeling the pressure of the playoff chase.
They are just in the top six courtesy of goal difference. But there is an extremely tight race going on in League One for the playoffs.
Blackpool had been undefeated in six away games before slipping up at Rochdale in their last road fixture.
They hosted Sunderland back in mid-April and beat the Black Cats at home.
It is a W5 D1 L1 record in their last seven away games and the visitors pose a threat and may be worth changing.
Blackpool to win at 3/1

Online Betting Football Tip: Cheltenham v Carlisle
We are next moving on to League Two for today’s football betting tips.
The Robins are even money favourites on home turf to claim the victory.
Cheltenham will be looking for their third straight league win after 1-0 victories over Stevenage and Colchester.
That has moved them back to the top of the table and they can secure automatic promotion with a point in this one.
So the finish line is in sight and the home record for Cheltenham this season stands at W12 D4 L5.
The Robins look value to claim maximum points as they have won their last four at Whaddon Road on the spin.
Carlisle are five points outside of the play offs and probably have too much to do to reach them.
There has been no victory for them in their last five league games either (D4 L1).
They are a decent side defensively, but in recent away form they have not claimed a win in their last three.
Cheltenham to win at Even money

Online Betting Football Tip: Exeter v Grimsby
We will round off today’s football betting tips by staying in League One.
Exeter are 4/6 to get a win on home turf against Grimsby in midweek.
Exeter are just in touch with the play off spots but need to find a winning touch to make a run at them.
They have failed to win any of their last four, drawing three on the bounce.
But this surely has to be a good chance for them to bounce back to winning ways.
Exeter are facing the bottom side in the league in the form of Grimsby.
The Mariners have won two of their last three, but are still six points away from safety.
One of those wins the war against current third-place team Bolton, a fantastic three points for Grimsby.
It has been only two defeats in their last dozen league games, so they have been showing some fight at the end of a really tough campaign.
The Mariners have a W5 D5 L11 record this season on their travels.
Grimsby surely has to be a good option to back to avoid defeat.
Draw at 13/5
