Real Madrid v Man City Preview

Real Madrid’s Form  

Real had a sensational 23/24 campaign which culminated in a La Liga and Champions League double. It was always going to be interesting to see how they approached the subsequent summer, but they continued in typical fashion with long long-anticipated signing of Kylian Mbappé on a free transfer from PSG which naturally kept expectation levels high at the club.

It’s already been a successful season for the club with victories in the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. There was less than consistent Champions League form though meant they missed out on an automatic Round of 16 place. Despite the tough draw though they showed their competition credentials in the first leg of the playoffs with a 2-3 win at the Etihad putting them in the driving seat for this game.

They may be winless in their last three league games, but they always seem to do the job when it matters in this competition.

Man City’s Form        

For a side which has been so dominant for the best part of a decade but particularly since Guardiola’s appointment in 2016 by comparison this has been a difficult season for the club. City are 5th in the Premier League and on the verge of being knocked out of Europe following their midweek defeat 2-3 against Real Madrid. However, they spent big in January with over £180 million spent most of which were on first-team signings Khusanov,  Reis, Marmoush, Bah and Nico.

At the weekend City’s 4-0 victory against Newcastle made it ten points from their last five league games meaning they now trail third-place Nottingham Forrest by just three points albeit they’re far further behind Liverpool (16) and Arsenal (9) respectively. When it comes to the Champions League their 2-3 loss at the Etihad means they’ve a deficit to overcome in Madrid, but they do have the players and the capability to tear any side apart anywhere if on song.

City are a big price ahead of this game and I think they’re being a little underestimated in the odds market.

Key Players To Watch

Kylian Mbappe - Real Madrid

There was a massive amount of excitement, expectation levels and pressure when Mbappé finally made his move to Madrid from PSG during the summer transfer window.

Despite a slow start to his life at Real Madrid, he has looked like the Mbappé of old in recent weeks including getting on the scoresheet in their first-leg triumph at the Etihad. This season he has 24 goals and 3 assists in 36 games and is 7/2 to score first in this game and 4/5 to score at any point.

Erling Haaland - Man City

The Norwegian freak of nature has recently agreed on a 9.5-year new deal with Man City, which would take his time at the club to June 2034 so it’s likely we will see him terrorise defences for Man City at the very least until his reported “high” release clause is activated in 2029.

This season he’s scored 27 goals and 2 assists from 34 games in all competitions following his midweek brace, he is 5/1 to score first or 11/10 to score at any time.

Real Madrid v Man City Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Man City

Real are serial winners when it comes to this competition and with successes in two of the last three, they will be fancied to sustain the City challenge on Wednesday.

Man City can’t be ruled out though following their hammering of a very strong Newcastle side at the weekend.

This could go to the wire, but I think Real just do enough in 90 minutes for the win.

Best Bet: Real Madrid Win + Under 3.5 Total Goals @ 14/5
