LiontipsReal Madrid vs Manchester City: betting tip (cf 4.00) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
In the Champions League, initially, according to bookmaker quotes, Real Madrid is among the obvious contenders for a place in the top eight. However, it was not possible to hold the entire overall stage smoothly and stably, with Madrid finishing in ninth place with 15 points. The creamers missed out on a ticket to the 1/8 finals in the final round, when they lost to Benfica on the road with a score of 2:4.
Interestingly, in the 1/16 finals, Real Madrid faced Benfica. We managed to score two victories (1-0 and 2-1), but there was no tangible advantage, and we had to put in a lot of effort. So far, it is obvious that the resignation of Xabi Alonso has not had a positive effect. Under the leadership of Alvaro Arbeloa, Madrid managed to play 13 matches, taking into account all tournaments, in which they suffered four defeats. For a club with huge ambitions, this is definitely not an outstanding result. Perhaps the biggest failure happened in the Spanish Cup, when they lost to Albacete (2:3).
In the Example, creamy lost the first place to Barcelona, they are four points behind. Two defeats in a row from Osasuna (1:2) and Getafe (0:1) could not pass without a trace. And the last victory over Celta was only snatched in the 94th minute. Obviously, without Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid is experiencing decent problems in attack, despite the presence of other individually strong players. The Frenchman won't be on the field today either.
Disqualifications and injuries
Militao, Alaba, Bellingham, Ceballos, Rodrigo, Carreras, Mbappe will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

- Madrid have won 10 of their previous 13 Champions League matches on home turf.

Approximate composition: Courtois–Alexander-Arnold, Asensio, Rudiger, Mendy–Valverde, Guler, Tchuameni, Kamavinga – G. Garcia, Vinicius.
Current form
Manchester City confirmed the status of one of the obvious contenders for a place in the top 8 at the league stage. With 16 points scored, the citizens rounded out the top eight. In the key match of the final round, we managed to beat Galatasaray 2-0 at home. Undoubtedly, there were expectations and predictions that we would be able to play more confidently, but there were unexpected defeats from Bayer Leverkusen (0:2) and/Glimt (2:3).
It is not the first season under the leadership of Josep Guardiola that Manchester City is rolling towards the end. Nothing seems to be changing this year. In the last 11 games, taking into account all the tournaments, the townspeople allowed themselves only two misfires, when they went 2-2 in the Premier League with Tottenham and Nottingham Forest with the same score. They obviously don't plan to just give the title of England's blue club to Arsenal, who are seven points behind, but have a game in reserve.
Manchester City still claims trophies in all tournaments where they play. In the League Cup, Guardiola's team will face the final against the Gunners. In the FA Cup the day before, the townspeople beat Newcastle 3-1 on the road and made it to the quarterfinals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kovacic, Lewis and Guardiola are injured, Savinho is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Manchester City have won in the first half.
- In 12 of the 17 previous matches of the citizens in the Champions League, at least three goals were scored.
- The townspeople have hit the opponent's goal at least twice in 9 of the last 12 games in the Champions League.
Approximate composition: Donnarumma – Nunez, Diash, Gehi, O'Reilly – Rhodri, B. Silva – Sherki, Marmush, Doku – Holland.

1.92Tip and bets
Even when visiting the betting shops, Manchester City is the favorite. It's hard to disagree with this alignment of forces. The townspeople have strengthened their problematic positions in the squad, first of all, we note the arrival of defender Gekhi. It's not the first season that Guardiola has brought his players to peak form closer to the end of the season, which we are still seeing: in the last 11 matches there have been only two draws, in other cases only wins. Real Madrid without Mbappe is not as effective in attack, especially in matches against opponents playing strictly from defense. Alvaro Arbeloa couldn't immediately show all his talent as head coach, and today one of the key points is coaching big matches, where Guardiola has a clear advantage. Of course, significant losses in the squad are not in favor of cream: besides Mbappe, six other players will not play. This pair suggests a bet on the victory of the representative of the Premier League.
Our betting tip is for Manchester City to win by a factor of 2.02
Bet on the total
Real Madrid has noticeable problems in attack, affected by the absence of Kylian Mbappe. In the previous five matches, they only managed to score more than one goal twice, and even then the second goal against Celta was scored at the very end. We do not think that today the cream will be able to score at least two goals.
The second bet is Real Madrid's individual goal total of less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.60
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
On their own field, cream is unlikely to allow themselves to lose with a large score. Nevertheless, their squad, even taking into account the losses, is solid, and the support of the fans will play a role. Real Madrid suffered the last two defeats with a one-goal difference, which we are waiting for today.
Prediction – Manchester City will win with a one-goal advantage with a coefficient of 4.00
