Real Madrid – Manchester City, Champions League Prediction

Real Madrid have not been playing so well lately. 2nd loss for the season for Los Blancos in La Liga, which again came from a very unexpected contender and again 1-0. Mallorca was the winner for the first time, and now it was Levante with a very beautiful counter-attack goal. Real lost Hazard just after the Belgian returned from injury and now may not play until the end of the season. Certainly Hazard period in Real Madrid is a complete disaster so far. He has missed more minutes in half a season for the Spaniards than for Chelsea throughout his whole career with the Blues.

Manchester City took a very sweet victory against Leicester at the end of the match after Mahrez gave a good pass to Jesus. So the citizens got away a little from the foxes in the second position. Guardiola’s goal is to keep the pace in the league and push for all the other tournaments the team participates in, but the big goal this time around is the Champions League. Entirely focused there, because City may not play in this tournament for the next 2 seasons.

 Expert view : We do not see how Real Madrid will lose at Bernabeu, given the overall performance of the two teams in this tournament. Citizens can be quite aggressive and somewhat angry with this suspension and now most likely have an even greater ambition to win the Champions League, but they do not have the traditions of Real Madrid. Los Blancos won three times in a row with Zinedine Zidane. We expect that if the citizens eliminate Real Madrid at all, it will be thanks to eventual victory in the second game. Prediction – Real Madrid +0.5 AH at 1.60.

Real Madrid have only 3 losses in their last 27 Champions League home matches
