Real Madrid Preview – Can Real Madrid raise game?
Wednesday night’s hosts, Real Madrid, will make their way into this 1st leg of this round of 16 tie against Manchester City having produced some indifferent results in recent weeks as the Spanish side have collected wins against city rivals, Atletico Madrid and Osasuna in La Liga, but have also suffered surprise defeats to Real Sociedad and Levante.
The loss to Real Sociedad came in a surprise 4-3 defeat in the Copa del Rey while also losing 1-0 at Levante in last weekend’s La Liga clash, so it’s fair to say that confidence isn’t at an all-time high for the Madrid outfit as they prepare for this crucial encounter against Manchester City.
The straight win market should therefore be avoided, especially as Real Madrid have registered just 1 win out of their last 5 home ties in the Champions League, which came in the shape of a resounding 6-0 win against Galatasaray last November, but previous exchanges against Manchester City favour the goals market – 4 of the previous 6 encounters have seen both teams score.
Manchester City Preview – Can Man City take advantage?
The Champions League title is the one piece of silverware that Pep Guardiola is missing with Manchester City, but it appears they have a decent chance in at least progressing through to the last eight of this season’s competition as they take on a wobbling Real Madrid outfit on Wednesday night.
City will be in confident mood too as they prepare for their trip to Madrid having registered back-to-back wins against West Ham and Leicester City in the Premier League, while results in the Champions League have also been encouraging.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last 7 Champions League ties overall, winning 5 of these, and have lost just 1 of their last 8 ties on their travels which was a 1-0 loss away from home against a Tottenham side that included Harry Kane.
