Manchester City vs Real Madrid Preview and Team news
Manchester City Team News
Manchester City enters this fixture with a mix of optimism and concern. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with notable victories against Chelsea (3-1) and Club Brugge (3-1) being overshadowed by a heavy defeat to Arsenal (5-1) and a challenging win over Leyton Orient (2-1) in the FA Cup.
Injuries have compounded their challenges, with key players like Rodri, Ederson, and Jeremy Doku sidelined. New signing Nico Gonzalez, brought in to bolster the midfield, suffered an injury just 22 minutes into his debut against Leyton Orient, making him a major doubt for this match.

Manchester City’s midfield, orchestrated by Kevin De Bruyne, will aim to dominate possession and dictate the tempo. The absence of Rodri means Mateo Kovačić may take on a deeper role, focusing on breaking up play and distributing the ball efficiently. Phil Foden’s versatility allows him to drift between lines, creating overloads and linking up with the forward line.
City’s defense will need to be vigilant against the pace and trickery of Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior. Matheus Nunes and Gvardiol will have the crucial task of containing these wingers, preventing them from cutting inside or exploiting the flanks.

The central pairing of John Stones and Rúben Dias must communicate effectively to manage Rodrygo’s movements and the late runs from Madrid’s midfielders.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-3-3): Ederson; Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Silva, Kovačić; Foden, De Bruyne, Savinho; Haaland.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid faces a defensive crisis ahead of this encounter. Injuries have decimated their backline, with Lucas Vázquez, Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, David Alaba, and Antonio Rüdiger all unavailable.
This situation leaves manager Carlo Ancelotti with limited options in defense. In their recent matches, Los Blancos secured a 3-0 victory against Brest in the Champions League and a 3-0 win over Real Valladolid in La Liga but were held to a 1-1 draw by Atlético Madrid and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Espanyol.

Real Madrid’s midfield trio of Valverde, Camavinga, and Bellingham combines energy, technical prowess, and tactical intelligence. Valverde’s box-to-box capabilities, coupled with Camavinga’s ball-winning skills, provide a balanced platform. Bellingham’s late runs into the box and vision can pose significant threats to City’s defense.

The inexperienced pairing of Asencio and Tchouaméni will need to remain compact, with Mendy and García providing support to prevent City’s wingers from delivering dangerous crosses. Courtois’s shot-stopping abilities will be crucial in keeping Madrid in the game.

Manchester City vs Real Madrid Prediction
- Pick: Over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -200 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Manchester City 2-2 Real Madrid
Manchester City has exhibited defensive frailties in recent fixtures. Conceding five goals to Arsenal and four to Paris Saint-Germain underscores potential weaknesses at the back.
Similarly, Real Madrid’s defense has been compromised, with key defenders sidelined due to injuries, leading to a makeshift backline. This instability suggests both teams may struggle to contain the opposing attacking threats.

Historically, encounters between these two sides have been high-scoring affairs. For instance, their previous meetings have often resulted in over 2.5 goals, reflecting an open style of play and mutual offensive intent.
Therefore, in this match, I expect that the two teams will be able to score more than two goals.
Manchester City vs Real Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -223 (20Bet)
Both teams boast formidable offensive units. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has been prolific, capitalizing on service from creative midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden.
Real Madrid’s forward line, featuring Kylian Mbappé, Rodrigo and Vinícius Júnior, has consistently posed significant challenges to defenses. The combination of potent attacks and vulnerable defenses indicates a match with multiple goals.
