Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Real Madrid
Madrid have four wins and a loss in their five Champions League games, but their lone defeat has come against a Premier League side. Having won both their home matches in this campaign, Los Blancos will hope they can continue that good form in this competition.
The hosts were beaten 2-0 at this venue by Celta Vigo last weekend in La Liga and were booed off by the home faithful. It also marked a fifth game in their last seven matches that Madrid failed to win (W2, D3, L2) in all competitions.
Eder Militao picked up a hamstring injury against Celta Vigo, adding to the long list of injuries for Madrid. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Carvajal are still out, while Ferland Mendy’s absence along with the injury cloud over Dean Huijsen makes it worse.
The hosts have used multiple formations this season and could stick to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system. Either way, it would be Kylian Mbappe leading the line and their hopes as Madrid look for a way out of the current mess.
Manchester City
That adds a new dimension to this encounter, but City come here looking to bounce back from a 2-0 home defeat to Leverkusen on the last matchday. That meant Pep Guardiola’s side had three wins and a draw in this campaign so far.
The visitors defeated Sunderland 3-0 at home in the Premier League over the weekend, which was their third win in a row. It also marked a tenth win from their last 13 competitive games, underlining City’s strengths.
City’s concerns circle around Rodri, who missed their last six matches in the latest injury setback. Mateo Kovacic misses out due to an ankle injury, while Kalvin Phillips is unavailable.
Pep’s sides have usually lined up in 4-1-4-1 formations, although they have recently used the 4-3-2-1 system as well. Whatever the system is, it will be Erling Haaland leading the line. The Norwegian striker has five goals in the Champions League this season, scoring in all but one of the five matches.
Summary:
There’s so much on the line for Madrid and their manager Xabi Alonso, who is under pressure to retain his job. Two wins out of their last seven matches isn’t a proud record for the Spaniards, who will hope they can get back to winning ways. City come here with a much better frame of mind, thanks to their recent run of victories. Ten wins from their last 13 competitive matches is an indicator of their form.
Both teams are likely to dish out an exciting game. Our Real Madrid vs Manchester City prediction is Draw or Manchester City Win.
