Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Predictions

We nailed the draw for +265 odds in the first leg of this matchup. The teams were still feeling each other out in that match, but now, with a spot in the Champions League final on the line, expect the gloves to come off.

Manchester City, the most dangerous scoring team in the world, won’t hold back on their home turf. Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, City has adopted an attacking style that has left opponents struggling to keep up. With the likes of Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Jack Grealish in their ranks, the Citizens are a force to be reckoned with.

However, this aggressive attacking style also leaves City vulnerable to counter-attacks, an area where Real Madrid excels. Los Blancos have a history of thriving in high-pressure situations, boasting a record 14 Champions League titles. They have the experience and instinctual playing style to pull off successful counters with enough firepower to exploit any gaps in City’s defense.

Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Picks

Because of this, we are taking both teams to score at -150 odds at Bet365. We also believe Manchester City will get the job done at home. You can pick Man City to win in regulation and both teams to score for +200 odds at Bet365. Either of those bets set up nicely on Wednesday.
