Current Form
Manchester City dominated in their last game against Luton at home. Gvardiol scored another anger as City won 5-1 and regained 1st spot in the Premier League. With Liverpool and Arsenal losing their games, the Citizens are 2 points above them. If they keep their current form, we believe that they will win the Premier League title yet again. Pep Guardiola praised his side for their ability to adapt quickly to chaos in the first league game against Real Madrid. The Citizens led inside two minutes, and then trailed at half-time.However, playing without Kevin de Bruyne was a big hit for them. This result is fine for them, and they will definitely be confident playing at home. Last time they played against Real Madrid at home was in last season’s semifinal. The citizens won that game 4-0, and completely dominated in that game. Also, worth mentioning that Manchester City did not lose a single game this year. The last time they lost was last year in December against Aston Villa.
Real Madrid won their last game against Mallorca 0-1. They rested some of their key players, so expect them to be well rested. They are currently in great form, winning 4 out of the last 5 games. Real Madrid are 14-time European champions, and it is not often that you see them go into a game as underdogs as they are tonight. Ancelotti mentioned that his side are not going to win the game through fitness, but through attitude. They made it to the Champions League semifinals three times in a row. This will be their toughest challenge by far, as they have never beaten Manchester City in England, losing the 4 straight games against them in Manchester. Aurelien Tchouameni will miss the match through suspension. Other than that, Real Madrid look healthy and ready to go.
Best Bet to Make
As we already mentioned, Manchester City won the last 4 games at home against Real Madrid. Kevin de Bruyne will play tonight, and he will make a big difference on the pitch. The 2023 Champions League champions are favorites tonight, and rightfully so. We believe that they are currently the best team in the world. They will not have any major injuries coming into this game. Last time they played against each other in Manchester, the Citizens dominated and won 4-0. We expect a similar game tonight as well.
That being said, Manchester City winning is a value bet.
