Real Madrid vs Manchester City Moneyline Prediction

Real Madrid and Manchester City have met regularly in the Champions League. While the results have been mixed, victories for the Citizens have been rare, even at their best. This is why a draw is a good prediction here, though Los Blancos have just lost to Celta Vigo and are on the brink of a dressing-room implosion. 

Man City have won all their last three matches, while Madrid have only won one game in La Liga from their last four. 

Real Madrid vs Manchester City Player Prop

Erling Haaland has been far from consistent throughout the last four weeks, which doesn’t stop betting odds from vouching for him. The Norwegian forward struggled against Sunderland, but it should be forgiven as he had registered two assists and one goal against Fulham. 

Haaland has found the net against Dortmund and Liverpool: it would be surprising to see him stay silent against Madrid, who have historically been one of his favourite teams to score against.

What this game promises is goals, including at least one from Erling Haaland. Both teams have struggled defensively, even though Thibaut Courtois has saved his team from worse. However, as Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland are leading the scoring charts, chances are that goals will be flying. 

Real Madrid vs Manchester City Team News

Real Madrid Team News

Xabi Alonso is facing a cultural crisis, unsure of where he is leading the team next. His Real Madrid suffered a 0-2 loss to Celta Vigo, which saw two of his players sent off (Álvaro Carreras and Fran García). 

The issue wasn’t refereeing, unlike what RMTV claimed. The squad struggled to cope with Celta Vigo’s pressure and, at the same time, failed to convert their chances. For Alonso, there could hardly have been a worse outcome after drawing with Elche and Girona. 

Only the 0-3 victory over Athletic Club can be considered convincing, as the 4-3 win against Olympiakos was linked to Mbappé’s brilliance instead of a collective success. 

Alonso’s methods are doubted more than ever, and he must now face an in-form Manchester City. He’s abandoned the possession-heavy mentality he employed at Leverkusen, leaving him with a mix of different ideas that haven’t worked out.

Vinicius Jr, among others, has already told the club he wouldn’t continue if Xabi Alonso remains in charge. Many disagree with his methods, in the belief that his game plan doesn’t benefit their individual development. 

Dani Carvajal, Dean Huijsen, David Alaba, Éder Militao, Ferland Mendy, and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be sidelined through injuries.

Manchester City Team News

Manchester City may not have a perfect defensive record, but that matters little when Arsenal drop points. The Citizens have only lost once in their last five Premier League outings, winning the other four. They sit second, a mere two points behind Arsenal.

Defensive solidity becomes less important if you score three goals every game – this is the Guardiola formula. Though he insisted in previous years on fixing the backline first, he has since returned to the basics. 

If Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and other attacking-minded players keep finding the net, the number of conceded goals won’t matter.

This is how his team have defeated Fulham (5-4), Sunderland (3-0), and Leeds (3-2). Similar to Madrid, Man City need a victory in the Champions League, as they currently sit just outside the top eight, the places that guarantee automatic qualification for the next round. 

John Stones, Rodri, and Mateo Kovačić will be sidelined due to injuries.
