Manchester City
The team has never looked better in terms of competitiveness. The tactical tweaks that Pep Guardiola has introduced brought a dynamic element that was not present in previous seasons, especially in the Champions League. Up against Bayern Munich, it was a tough match for Man City, Tuchel knew the methods of the English side, but mistakes at the back and overall quality took over the tie. The key players during that match were Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and the movement into the midfield from John Stones.
Now up against Real Madrid, it will be a brilliant watch for the neutrals, but it will surely be nerve-wracking for the fans. Knowing that the game is never over when it comes to Real Madrid, even if they look down and out. Atletico Madrid knows a thing or two about that. It will be a difficult task for Pep Guardiola naming his starting XI as his players are all looking sharp at the business end of the season, and credit to the physios and team rotations that facilitate such performances.
Manchester City are priced at 1.75 to score first in the match with the inevitable Erling Haaland to score anytime at 2.00. Getting a result at the Bernabeu is not for everyone but if they are truly destined for glory this season, Manchester City need to do it. We are pricing a 2-1 victory at 8.50.
Real Madrid
Somewhat of a disappointing season for Ancellotti, missing out on La Liga, but the Champions League, it’s always their safe heaven. It just brings out the absolute best out of each and every players. This time around, they need to at the very least, do without Luka Modric for the first leg as he is out injured. That would be a huge blow for the Spanish side, as his experience and ability on the ball would be missed. Toni Kroos will be there to mop up where needed, he is no slouch himself on the ball.
The deadly combination of Vinicious Jr and Karim Benzema ran riot against English opposition Liverpool and Chelsea. The game will surely be in the balance, especially in the early minutes of the game as both teams try and feel out their opposition and most of the action will be in the middle. The pacey wingers will look to get behind the trio of centre-backs, who in theory should lack the pace to match both Rodrygo and Vinicious Jr.
We are pricing a Real Madrid win and over 2.50 goals at 1.40, the first goal will be scored through a header at 7.50. Having the last say in the game are Real Madrid who are priced at 2.22 to score last in the game.
