Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Manchester City vs Real Madrid

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola's team had a very uncertain run through the main round of the Champions League, securing a spot in the playoffs only with a win over Brugge in the final round. Before the start of the current competition, City fans probably expected their favourites to easily make it into the top eight and directly advance to the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. Manchester City have a very tough test ahead, as the team will play the current winner of the tournament, who knocked the Citizens out of the last edition of the tournament. The Manchester club's top scorer in the current Champions League season is Erling Haaland, who has six goals to his name.

Real Madrid

Similar words can be written about Real Madrid, because the team quite unexpectedly failed to break into the top eight, having made several disappointing mistakes during the main stage of the Champions League. These losses of points cost Carlo Ancelotti's charges a direct entry into the 1/8 finals and now the Blancos will have to try very hard to defend their championship title. Real will, as always, have the experience and class of the team's players on their side, but to get past the next opponent, the Madrid team will need to show their best game.

Game Totals Prediction

This will be the main confrontation of the 1/16 finals of the Champions League, in which the teams that are contenders for victory in the tournament will play each other. But after such an early stage, one of the top clubs will leave the current competition, which means that the importance of their meeting is very difficult to overestimate. It is possible that in the first match, Manchester City and Real will be looking at each other and all the main events will be transferred to the return match. A good choice seems to be a bet on Total Less (3) for 2.09.
