Real Madrid vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu will host the confrontation between Real Madrid and Manchester City on Wednesday evening at 8:00 PM, a match that is part of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League play-off for qualification for the round of 16. The round match was played a week ago and was a new football spectacle, like many other direct confrontations between the two teams. Manchester City led twice with 1-0 and 2-1, but each time Real Madrid managed to come back and win in the end with 3-2, an advantage that places them as the favorite to qualify for the round of 16 where they could come up against Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid left LaLiga in 2nd place where they lost their seven-point lead over Barcelona in just three rounds, after losing the match against Espanyol, 1-0, and drawing with Atletico Madrid and Osasuna, 1-1. The most recent result was the draw with Osasuna away, where although they opened the scoring in the 15th minute, they could not hold on to the minimal advantage, and from the 39th minute they also played with one less man on the field after the elimination of Jude Bellingham. Returning to the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid is a specialist in this competition, as evidenced by the 15 trophies won, the most recent last season, 2-0 in the final against Borussia Dortmund. After the 3-2 victory in the round, Real Madrid is the favorite to qualify further in the round of 16. In the next match, Real Madrid will play at home with Girona.
Manchester City:
On the other hand, Manchester City has returned to the Premier League even though two rounds ago they suffered a 5-1 defeat in the derby with Arsenal, but the priority remains to qualify for the next season’s UEFA Champions League, the fight for the title being a deal between Arsenal and Liverpool this season. In the most recent match, Manchester City won 4-0 at home against Newcastle, a direct opponent in the fight for 3-4 places. With this victory, Manchester City climbed to 4th place in the standings with 44 points accumulated. To have a chance in the round of 16, Manchester City needs a perfect match against Real Madrid and a victory with a difference of at least two goals. In the next match, Manchester City will play at home against the leader, Liverpool.
