England play for a draw to advance to the semifinals
This Wednesday, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City face off to see who will advance to the Champions League semifinals. The Citizens have the advantage on the scoreboard as they won the first leg 1-0 at home. The match, at Wanda Metropolitano, is scheduled for 16:00 (Brasília time). The winner of the match faces Real Madrid.
If they want to pass, Simeone’s team will need to improve their offensive production a lot. In the match in Manchester, he didn’t finish even once. The team continues without being able to count on defender Giménez and midfielder Herrera, both injured.
One of the highlights of the draw between Manchester City and Liverpool at the weekend, striker Gabriel Jesus is suspended and will not face Atletico Madrid. Defender Rúben Dias returned to training with the group after six weeks out due to injury and was included, but starts on the bench. Right-back Walker returns to the starting lineup.

The odds for both Atletico Madrid and Manchester City to score during the 90 minutes of the match is 1.95 for “yes” and 1.80 for “no”. A bet on a tie with goals pays 5.00. In equal without goals, 9.00.
Other more specific bets can also be placed. The odd that more than 10 corners will be scored is 2.37. Of which exactly 10 will be awarded by the referee, 8.00. For less than 10, it’s 1.83.
Over 1.5 goals: In the first leg, City’s momentum was held back by Atletico Madrid’s defensive posture. Due to the negative result, the home team must go on the attack and leave spaces, which increases the potential for goals.
More than 8.5 corners: Due to the technical quality of the teams and the importance of the game, the number of shots must be relatively high. Consequently, the rate of corners must also be high, and the guess of 9 or more in the game can have a good return.
