Manchester City vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
Tuesday night at 20:00 a new episode of the already classic Manchester City vs Real Madrid is played. The two big teams missed out on direct qualification for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 and are now forced to play a double leg in the round of 16 to see which team qualifies further. The most recent confrontation between Manchester City and Real Madrid took place in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season when Real Madrid qualified further after 3-3 in the first leg and 2-1 after penalties in the return match in England. The winner of this double confrontation will duel in the round of 16 with Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen.
Manchester City:
Manchester City are coming off an emotional FA Cup round of 16 qualification, having narrowly beaten Leyton Orient 2-1 away in the previous round.

For the first time under Guardiola, qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League is in jeopardy, as Manchester City lost 5-1 away to Arsenal in the last round and are now only 5th in the table with 41 points. Manchester City will face another important home match against Newcastle in the Premier League, followed by the return leg against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
