Manchester City vs Real Madrid preview and betting tips for Wednesday’s Champions League second-leg showdown from the Etihad. While Manchester City might have eventually been left frustrated over in Spain last week as they had to settle for a thrilling 3-3 stalemate, the Sky Blues will certainly be excited by a return to home soil here. Although Los Blancos might have mounted a dramatic late comeback last week as they snatched a first-leg equaliser in Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will be more than aware that they face a heavyweight challenge in Manchester.

Manchester City vs Real Madrid Prediction

Making real history last season as they got their hands on a maiden Champions League crown, many have tipped Manchester City as a leading contender to defend their title this summer. Certainly firing on all cylinders since opening the New Year and with the mood around the Etihad at a red-hot high, Pep Guardiola’s men have a famous treble-winning campaign at the top of their agenda. Picking up what could turn out to be a season-defining 5-1 romp at home against Luton over the weekend, the Sky Blues are sat in the driving seat to claim a fourth consecutive Premier League crown this year. While Real Madrid might be cruising their way to another domestic crown this season, Los Blancos couldn’t have asked for a tougher challenge on Wednesday night. Missing out on the chance to claim a crucial first-leg advantage on home soil last week, Ancelotti’s men will also be concerned by a nightmare record in the blue half of Manchester. Suffering an infamous 5-0 drumming when they travelled to the reigning European champions last season, Madrid have lost all of their previous three consecutive trips to the Etihad by an aggregate score of 10-4. Despite suffering just a single defeat since opening the New Year, Ancelotti’s side are tipped as a real underdog.
