Real Madrid vs Manchester City: Match Preview And Prediction
Real Madrid vs Manchester City:
At the Etihad Stadium, less than a year ago, Real Madrid was humiliated by Manchester City in the rematch of the UEFA Champions League semifinal. Los Blancos will get the opportunity to avenge their losses as this year’s quarterfinal matchup pits two of the top title contenders against one another. Tuesday night at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu is when the opening leg is set to take place.
Real Madrid has won three straight La Liga games with ten goals. In six of their previous eight games across all competitions, Manchester City gave up. Jude Bellingham leads Real Madrid’s scoring in the Champions League and La Liga.
This season, Real Madrid has only dropped one match in the domestic league. Since mid-January and their sad Copa del Rey elimination at the hands of local rivals Atletico Madrid, they have won 13 successive games in all competitions. Nine days ago, Carlo Ancelotti’s team defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in the capital, maintaining a commanding eight-point lead atop the La Liga standings.
Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 4-2 on Saturday afternoon to keep up their Premier League title challenge. The game was defined by Kevin De Bruyne’s brace, which included his historic 100th goal. Erling Haaland, who was absent from the 4-1 victory over Aston Villa the previous week, was also on target at Selhurst Park.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City: Betting Analysis
Over the past few years, this has developed into a significant competition. The current holders and the record-holding 14-time Champions League winners will square off. The Etihad agony from the previous season was definitely not forgotten by Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
They had nine whole days to be ready for their opponents from Manchester. It makes sense to support Los Blancos in front of their supporters to win this first leg, at the very least, given how powerful they have been all season.
The back line for the Citizens hasn’t exactly been dependable lately. For the past few weeks, their defenders have mostly been dropping like flies. The team’s injured list has been updated with the addition of Kyle Walker and Josko Gvardiol.
Just two clean sheets have been maintained by Pep Guardiola’s team in the last eight games in all competitions. They are now playing away from home against the most lethal offensive line in Spanish La Liga.
Conversely, Man City did score four goals in their last two Premier League victories. Goals were scored in both ends of the previous six of Madrid and City’s seven head-to-head meetings. At the tempting 5.00 odds, Real Madrid to win and Both Teams to Score is the best option.
When looking for more value bets, the anytime goalscorer market should be the first place one looks. This season, Jude Bellingham has been Real Madrid’s shining star. The Englishman, 20, leads the team in goals scored in both the Champions League and La Liga.
