Manchester City vs Real Madrid<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Etihad Stadium, Manchester<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Manchester City vs Real Madrid Preview<\/b><\/h1>\n

City have netted goals for fun in recent weeks and it was little surprise to see the first leg of their tie with old foes Real turn into a high-scoring affair at the Bernabeu.\u00a0<\/span>Home advantage could prove priceless for Guardiola\u2019s troops and they will be buoyed by a 5-1 win over Premier League strugglers Luton in their last outing in front of the Etihad faithful.\u00a0<\/span>Erling Haaland has been criticised by Manchester United legend Roy Keane for his all-round game but no one in the blue half of Manchester will care if he manages to bulge the net on the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the watchful eye of experienced boss Carlo Ancelotti, Madrid have been imperious this season.\u00a0<\/span>With just one defeat in LaLiga, which came at the hands of local rivals Atletico, the Italian\u2019s side are destined to win the Spanish league having missed out to Barcelona last term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And they will be determined to keep alive their hopes of lifting the biggest prize in European football once again by overcoming City.\u00a0<\/span>While many sides would crumble under the pressure of the challenge ahead of them, Ancelotti\u2019s men are likely to be supremely confident of getting the result they need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Latest Champions League Betting Odds<\/b><\/h1>\n

City are <\/span>8\/5<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>2.60<\/span><\/a>) to retain the Champions League and odds of <\/span>31\/47<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>1.66<\/span><\/a>) for them to beat Real back up that price. <\/span>At <\/span>15\/4<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>4.75<\/span><\/a>), the away side are a more tempting bet to pick up a victory on enemy soil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester City vs Real Madrid Betting Tips<\/b><\/h1>\n

Norwegian goal machine Haaland is <\/span>23\/8<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>3.87<\/span><\/a>) to break the deadlock at the Eithad, while England star Jude Bellingham is a lip-smacking <\/span>9\/1<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>10.00<\/span><\/a>) to open the scoring for the visitors.\u00a0 <\/span>Midfielder Bellingham, 20, is also an appealing <\/span>33\/10<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>4.30<\/span><\/a>) to get his name on the scoresheet at any time during the game, while City star Kevin De Bruyne is <\/span>3\/1<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>4.00<\/span><\/a>) in the same market.\u00a0 <\/span>You can also bag <\/span>13\/5<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>3.60<\/span><\/a>) on both teams to score, over 2.5 goals and over 9.5 corners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
