Manchester City vs Real Madrid Betting Tips & Predictions

Manchester City have never been this far in the Champions League, and now just one step away from an historic final they find themselves coming face to face with the Champions League’s most successful club ever.

However, after knocking Paris Saint Germain off their perch recently the blue side of Manchester won’t be feeling starstruck on Tuesday. They come into this match unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions and with five wins under their belt during this period. Their most recent outing saw them destroy Stoke 4-0 in the Premier League as they moved five points clear of Manchester United in their quest to finish in the top four.

With Arsenal sitting in between them and their cross-city rivals, Manchester City will feel well able to out perform at least one of these clubs and secure Champions League football for next season, but their priorities will undoubtedly lie in the competition this year.

But Real Madrid, as we all know, are no pushovers. They possess some of the world’s greatest players and come into this match having won five matches on the trot in all competitions, a run which has allowed them to cut Barcelona’s lead at the top of La Liga to just one point. It’s anybody’s race in the Spanish top flight now, with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona all within a point of each other.

Real Madrid’s last defeat came in Germany as Wolfsburg beat them 2-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals, but Madrid managed to bounce back from that fairly comfortably and win 3-0 at the Bernebau. Either way, that first leg result will give Manchester City an enormous amount of hope.

Both of these sides have an enormous amount of talent in the final third. Manchester City have scored 17 goals in their last seven appearances, and Real Madrid have notched 18 in their last five outings. This could lead to a high scoring game as both teams look to get the upper hand in the first leg, and odds of 4/5 for Over 2.5 Goals look incredibly good value. I’m going for a Real Madrid win with a 2-1 correct score prediction as well.
