Manchester City vs Real Madrid 17.04.2024 Prediction: UEFA Champions League

Match Overview

Manchester City and Real Madrid, perhaps the biggest clubs in Europe at the moment, take each other on in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on April 17, Wednesday. The two sides had played out a 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of this encounter.

Key Highlights 

There have been a total of 13 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which City have won five. Madrid have only been victorious on four occasions while the rest of the four games were played out as drawn encounters. When these two teams met each other in the semifinals of last season's competition, City beat Madrid by a 5-1 aggregate.

Injury Report

While City do not have any of their players missing in action for this game, David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois are absent for Madrid. Aurelien Tchouameni is suspended for the visitors.

Prediction

Neither City nor Madrid appear to be the downright favourites to win this game as they are equally well-matched with each other. City will feel that they need to stop the visiting side from getting onto the front foot early on in the game. For Madrid, they need to keep their defensive shape well. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
