Real Madrid have shown solid form throughout the campaign and they have suffered only two defeats so far this season. Carlo Ancelotti’s team will have revenge on their minds after a 5-1 aggregate loss to Man City in the semifinals last season. So far in the UCL 2023/24 campaign, Madrid have failed to win just one game. The Real Madrid vs Man City betting tips expect a strong performance from the Los Blancos, who have not lost a European game at the Santiago Bernabeu since April 2022.
Real Madrid continue to be without David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois. Even though Eder Militao has returned to training, he is unlikely to play the full 90 minutes.
Manchester City had a comfortable route past RB Leipzig in the round of 16. Apart from having the title of being the defending champions, City also hold a 25-game unbeaten run. The team has been performing close to their very best in Europe. After putting together an eight-game winning sequence in the Champions League this season, City will be a formidable opponent even if they are playing away from home.
Guardiola does not have too many injury concerns, with only Kyle Walker ruled out of the game due to a hamstring problem. Josko Gvardiol is rated as a doubt.

The most Real Madrid vs Man City predictions are based on the fact that Carlo Ancelotti’s team have plenty of offensive potential. They have scored 12 goals in the last five Champions League matches. City might have been exceptional with a 100% win ratio in the group stages, but they have a leaky defense. After having conceded at least a goal in each of the last four UCL games, the Citizens will be nervous coming into the game. Madrid can capitalize on this with a victory, which is needed more by the host before the trip to Manchester.
