Real Madrid vs Manchester City Football Prediction

Details:

Real Madrid eliminated Liverpool in the round of 16 and after an easy matchup against Chelsea, now it's the turn for the third English team. Real come into this clash after winning the Copa del Rey with a 2-1 final win against Osasuna. Madrid are third in La Liga with as many as 14 points behind Barcelona and one behind their city rivals, Atlético.

Manchester City are having a great season and have won 15 of their last 16 games in all competitions. The only draw in that period was in the return match of the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich with a 1-1 draw. That was no problem, as Pep Guardiola's team won 3-0 against the Bavarians at the Etihad. City leads the Premier League by one point over Arsenal.

Key facts

• Ferland Mendy and Eder Militao will not play for Real
• Nathan Ake and Bernard Mendy will not play for City
• City has won 4 of the last 5 against Real

This will be a rematch of last year's semi-final where Real Madrid went through in incredible fashion with two goals in stoppage time in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabé. City certainly hasn't forgotten that shock, which will an extra motivation when they return to Madrid. However, Real is the defending champion and they can handle City’s attacks. Real is also offensively oriented team and will not let the visitors have the majority of possession. City will not go in fully attacking mode which is the reason why I am suggesting placing bet on double chance on Real Madrid.
