Real Madrid vs Manchester City Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Here we go again.
Real Madrid vs. Manchester City is becoming one of the more common Champions League games in recent years, and the two European heavyweights meet again on Wednesday night inside the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid remain in a strong position inside the top eight heading into matchday six, but nothing has come easy of late.
Their chaotic 4-3 win over Olympiacos offered thrills and alarm in equal measure, and Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo only heightened scrutiny. With just one win from their last five La Liga outings a return to European action may be exactly what they need.
The Bernabeu has largely held firm in the UCL — five victories from their last six home games — and they’ve found the net in 38 straight matches in this competition, the third-longest scoring streak in the tournament's history.
Manchester City sit two points back and make the trip to Madrid with confidence restored.
Their shock matchday-five defeat to Leverkusen now feels distant after three straight league wins, each producing at least three goals. Defensive questions linger, though, after conceding seven times across those fixtures, and their recent Champions League form away from home hasn’t inspired much faith.
One solitary victory did come on Spanish soil — a composed 2-0 job against Villarreal — but they’ll need far more to steady a run of six losses in their last 12 games in the competition.
Let's take a look at the best tips and the best free bets on offer ahead of Wednesday's huge clash.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City Tips
We've got three football tips for the Wednesday night action in the Bernabeu.
Tip 1: Draw
Neither Real Madrid nor Manchester City are playing at their completely reliable best, but on their day are still capable of stepping up into memorable performances.
Wednesday night doesn’t feel like it’s going to be a classic between the two, simply because there isn’t as much on the line as before, but pride will mean neither want to succumb to defeat in Madrid.
The hosts have the advantage in the league table following Manchester City’s recent defeat to Leverkusen, and a draw for the hosts will be seen as a positive result following their recent questionable form.
You could argue the same for the visitors who will be eyeing six points from Bodo/Glimt and Galatasaray in their final two league stage matches.
Tip 2: Over 4.5 goals
Both sides are resembling basketball teams at the moment, scoring plenty but at the same time looking very susceptible at the back.
Together they’ve been on the right side of 5-4 and 4-3 wins underlining that point, and a fruitful affair on the goals front in Madrid wouldn’t be a surprise.
Six of their last eight meetings have featured four goals or more.
Tip 3: Jude Bellingham to score the first goal
England and Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham loves a big occasion and will relish pitting himself against Pep Guardiola’s City on Wednesday night.
He’s scored only five this season but has a tendency of saving his strikes for the biggest games and biggest moments.
The 22-year-old has scored in three previous meetings against Manchester City for either Borussia Dortmund or Real Madrid.
