Manchester City vs Real Madrid Preview
Last week, the teams showed bright productive football in Madrid, but they could not determine the strongest – 3-3. Logically, at least the home field factor now makes the current Champions League winners the favourites of this pair. Bookmakers give extremely low odds for the English club to reach the semifinals – from 1.30 to 1.40, while the final success of Madrid is estimated at 3.15-3.25.
As for the upcoming match, the bookmakers do not particularly doubt the champions of England here either. Judging by Manchester City vs Real Madrid odds, their success is estimated with a coefficient of 1.60-1.70. But the bookmakers do not really believe in the victory of the Spaniards, estimating their chances with 4.95-5.10. The odds for a draw in regular time are 4.30-4.45.
Let's evaluate the current form of the opponents before the second match and choose the most reliable option for Manchester City vs Real Madrid tips.
Manchester City Preview
Pep Guardiola's players are preparing for the replay against Real Madrid in a great mood: Last weekend, the Citizens once again became the undisputed favourites in the fight for the first place in the Premier League. The team achieved an easy victory over the outsider Luton Town (5-1), while the main competitors lost synchronously in home matches. Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace (0-1), and Arsenal gave three points to Aston Villa (0-2). Now Manchester City are two points ahead of their pursuers, and the fate of the championship once again depends only on them.
The British have no problems with the squad before the return game with Real. John Stone missed the meeting with Luton Town due to muscle discomfort, but this is unlikely to prevent him from being in the ranks by Wednesday. Moreover, on Saturday, Pep Guardiola left Bernardo Silva, Phil Phoden and Rodri in reserve, so they will fully rest and recover by the Champions League match.
Real Madrid Preview
It was important for the Spanish club to maintain an eight-point gap from Barcelona in La Liga, so the Carlo Ancelotti team was seriously preparing to leave for Mallorca. The capital club secured its goal thanks to Aurelien Tchouameni's strike, a minimal victory was achieved and Real took another step towards the championship.
Coincidentally, the French midfielder will miss the meeting at Etihad Stadium due to the yellow card he received in the very opening of the first meeting with Manchester City. However, Brazilian Eder Millitao, who missed a long period due to a serious injury, may appear on the field. So far, Carlo Ancelotti has not given him much playing time – only a few minutes in matches against Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca, but perhaps his skills will be useful in England.
Manchester City vs Real Madrid Betting Tips
The Spaniards are free to complain about fate: after the hardest first quarter-final of the Champions League, they had to go to the strong Mallorca, while Manchester City had a frankly simple home match with Luton Town. Pep Guardiola skillfully took advantage of fortune and gave his leaders the opportunity to rest before one of the most important (at the moment) matches of the season.
It is quite possible that this factor will turn out to be the key one, as well as the fierce support of the fans. We believe that the British, as they did a year ago, will interrupt Madrid's European campaign on their own field, and as a Manchester City vs Real Madrid prediction, we propose to bet on their victory. Our tip for this game is Manchester City to win at odds of 1.68.
