The Champions League quarterfinals come with a treat, as we’ll have an anticipated final in the Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Series.
Los Blancos come from quietly disposing of Athletic Club, and they are comfortably leading the LaLiga table with few matches left.
The Citizens come from beating Crystal Palace this past weekend, and they are one point behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
Both teams faced in an excellent semifinal series last year, so we will have a new edition of this rivalry that is slowly turning into a classic.

Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Real Madrid will be local for the first leg, and they come in with good form and without seeing defeat in their last 13 matches in all competitions. They are known for showcasing their best at the UEFA Champions League time and time again.
Los Blancos were humiliated in Manchester last season when the champions stormed into the final with a 4-0 win on home soil. But now, it is time to try again and get the best of their rivals. Carlo Ancelotti’s men did not play over the weekend, meaning they have had a nine-day break to prepare for this fixture, and his troops should be raring to go on Tuesday night.
The hosts have only lost once in five head-to-heads with City at the Bernabeu, and they are also undefeated there this season, which should work in their favor.
Why Bet on Manchester City?
Manchester City is coming up as the 3rd placed team in the Premier League, but the team hasn’t lost a match in their last 25 games in all competitions. That shows just how good form they have been since the 2nd week of December.Â
The reigning UEFA Champions League champions will hope to sweep another contender aside, considering they come in good mood and momentum. However, the team has been known for drawing key matches this season, so they need to step up, as there’s no one point to play for.
City eased past Copenhagen in their two-legged last-16 tie, winning 3-1 in each leg for a 6-2 aggregate triumph after six wins from as many group-stage games in another dominant European showing.
Final Betting Analysis: Real Madrid vs. Manchester City
This will be the third straight season that City and Madrid have faced one another in the knockout stages of Europe’s premier club competition, with Los Blancos winning a semifinal tie in their victorious 2021-22 campaign and Man City triumphing en route to glory the following year.
However, Madrid has only won one of their last six Champions League matches against City, and it could be a point to note in this clash.
A close-contested stalemate is certainly on the cards as both sides enter the match in excellent form, but we believe that the citizens attacking power will fire them to an unexpected victory. We’ll go for a 1-2.
Go for a victory for the visitors at 2.6. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $160 for a total payout of $260.
