Still in search of the unprecedented title and trying to reach its second consecutive final, the English team receives the greatest champion in the history of the Champions, with 13 victories.
Soon the ball will roll for one of the most anticipated duels. Manchester City welcomes Real Madrid this Tuesday at 16:00 (Brasília time) at the Etihad Stadium, for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Two-time champion of the Champions with Barcelona, Pep Guardola continues in search of a continental conquest with Manchester City – that still doesn’t have the continental title. Last season, they lost the final to Chelsea 1-0.
In the season of his return to Real Madrid, Carlos Ancelotti already has the victory of the Spanish Championship as practically certain and seeks his sixth Champions League title in history – he won two as a player and three as a coach. The meringues try the fourteenth cup on the continent.
The Catalan captain has already played 19 matches against Real Madrid in his career. In those clashes, Guardiola won 11, drew four and lost just four matches. Against Ancelotti, the Spaniard has four wins in six encounters.
Betting Tips:
(1.50) Manchester City v Real Madrid (6.60); hunches and predictions
Both teams score: analyzing mainly the excellent offensive power of the teams, the tendency is for an open game, with a high number of scoring chances. Therefore, one of the most sought-after predictions of the game is goals for both teams.
For Manchester City to have more corners: playing at home, Manchester City must leave to make a positive result in the first leg. Therefore, another very likely guess is more corners for the home team, which should have more shots in the game.
For Casemiro to receive a card: Real Madrid’s yellow card leader, Brazilian Casemiro has already received 3 yellow cards. Playing away from home, and against a very offensive team, the player must commit fouls, and has good potential to be warned.
