Real Madrid – Manchester City, Champions League – Prediction

🏆 Real Madrid is already the champion of Spain, which can only motivate them

After the victory of Real Madrid over Espanyol at the weekend, they can now officially be called champions. Now, however, they have the last decisive battle before the eventual final in the Champions League. The championship title should give additional confidence and motivation to Los Blancos. Ancelotti had the opportunity to rotate in the last match. There aren’t many problems with injuries, because Bale, Hazard, and Jovic are probably out, but they are often injured anyway. The biggest concern is that Alaba is not expected to play.

👍 Man City continues to chase the double

City are making no mistakes in the league and so far it looks more likely to become champions instead of Liverpool. However, the main goal and the big dream of the citizens remains the Champions League, where they reached the final for the first time in their history only last season. In the first game, Man City dominated in big periods and they had to make better use of the opportunities they created. This is one of the problems for the citizens in some matches during the season – they create many chances, but do not use them. This time Cancello will play unlike in the first game, but Walker remains out. Stones is under question, as is Ake.

❌ Citizens can bitterly regret the omissions from the first match

Real Madrid will certainly show a better face this time and City may regret their omissions from the first match. Personally, I saw this tension in City against Real, which was seen mainly in the Champions League matches in the advanced phase of the tournament in previous years, which makes them make mistakes. Of course, they have improved a lot in this aspect, but at the Bernabeu after the lead from the first match, I do not think it makes sense to bet on the citizens, especially at these odds. I expect City to have a lot more problems and if they will qualify for the final, it will not be after a victory in the 2nd match. Prediction – Real Madrid +0.5 Asian Handicap at 1.75.
