Manchester City vs Real Madrid Preview and Team News
Manchester City Team News
Manchester City were defeated 0-3 by Real Madrid in the first leg and will be eager to respond in the return match. Pep Guardiola’s men have won just two of their last five games, signaling that not everything is running smoothly in the blue half of Manchester.
Recently, they were held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened West Ham in the Premier League, despite dominating possession with 72% of the ball. The Cityzens even took 24 shots, but lacked the accuracy to put more than six on target. Interestingly, they won 72% of their aerial duels, highlighting their effectiveness in the air.
Only Rico Lewis and Josko Gvardiol are unavailable due to injuries, meaning manager Pep Guardiola will have to look for alternatives.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-1-3-2): Donnarumma; Ait Nouri, Guehi, Khusanov, Nunes; Rodri; O’Reilly, Silva, Semenyo; Marmoush, Haaland.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid already have one foot in the next round thanks to their first-leg victory. Moreover, they are in much better form than their opponents. Los Blancos have won four of their last five matches, the latest of which was a 4-1 home victory over Elche.
In that game, Vinicius Jr recorded 100% passing accuracy and made three vital touches in the opponents’ box. Brahim Diaz, playing alongside him up front, made five key passes into the final third. Midfielder Federico Valverde, meanwhile, posted 100% shooting accuracy and scored a goal.
Madrid have a significantly longer injury list than City. Alvaro Carreras, Rodrygo, David Alaba, Kylian Mbappe, Dani Ceballos, Jude Bellingham, and Eder Militao have all been sidelined.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-4-2): Courtois; Garcia, Huijsen, Rudiger, Carvajal; Camavinga, Tchouameni, Pitarch, Valverde; Vinicius, Diaz.
Manchester City vs Real Madrid Prediction
- Pick: Manchester City to win
- Odds: -208 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester City 2-1 Real Madrid
We expect City to win. Madrid did well on their home turf, but they may find things more difficult on the road. At home, the English side have been unbeaten in seven of their last nine meetings with Los Blancos, showing total dominance.
The Cityzens have won three of their four home matches in the league stage of this tournament, while Madrid have won just two on the road.
This prediction, however, applies only to this particular game and doesn’t reflect City’s chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals.
Manchester City vs Real Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Erling Haaland to score
- Odds: -152 (20Bet)
We expect Erling Haaland to score. The Norwegian is currently the leading goalscorer in the Premier League (22) and has done equally well in the Champions League, with seven goals in nine matches.
The striker has been the standout performer of Guardiola’s side all season (40 goal contributions across all competitions) and will be expected to play a decisive role in this clash.
