Man City v Real Madrid Preview

Man City’s Form

City have picked up where they left off last season when they won a treble and with a few weeks remaining in the season they could be set to claim the brilliant feat again with them involved in the business end of the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. Their Champions League title defence commenced with an impeccable 6 wins from 6 against RB Leipzig, Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade. They then defeated Copenhagen 6-2 on aggregate in the Round of 16.

Their Quarter Final first leg was a rip-roaring 3-3 draw in Madrid which leaves the tie firmly in the balance. Despite the high-scoring game, the chances created were little with Madrid having an accumulated XG of 0.65 to City’s 0.80. It was a testament to the quality of both sides that so many goals were scored.

Man City at the weekend took a huge step towards Premier League glory with a 5-1 demolition of Luton.

Key Players To Watch

Phil Foden – Man City

The Manchester maestro (23) is tremendously versatile playing across all four positions in the front four this season Making him a key cog in the Guardiola side. Foden scored in the first leg and was rested at the weekend but you can expect him to come back into the side Wednesday.

Jude Bellingham – Real Madrid

A key man for club and country Jude Bellingham is already bonafide World Class at 20, his potential as a footballer and what he could achieve is scary. His performances for Real Madrid this season have brought him 20 goals and 10 assists from 34 games. However he disappointed in the first leg and if he isn’t at the top of his game Wednesday, Real will be in trouble.

Man City v Real Madrid Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Man City 1- 1 Real Madrid

Man City got the better of Real last season in the Champions League and with the second leg being held in the Etihad they’re very worthy favourites for the tie.

Real Madrid are Champions League stalwarts and can never be ruled out when it comes to their European Exploits even against the juggernaut that is City.

I’m expecting this to be a high quality and highly entertaining affair again and it could go to Extra Time and even penalties.

Best Bet: Real Madrid or Draw @ 5/4
