Man City vs Real Madrid Predictions

Real Madrid and Man City clash for the 12th time since 2016. This will be the second meeting in 2023, noting that the last duel was the reverse fixture of this year's UCL Semi-finals, a game that ended 1-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Cityzens hope they can edge out Los Blancos from the competition and progress to the finals.

The following are our free Man City vs Real Madrid predictions:

Team to Score Prediction: Both Teams to Score

Our first Man City vs Real Madrid prediction is BTTS. Both Madrid and Man City are two of the most in-form European clubs currently. It is hard to assume Los Blancos in this home game even if they play away from home. There is a good chance Carlo Ancelotti's men will score at least once. Man City on the other hand hardly misses a scoring chance and could score more than they did in the first leg.

Match Result Prediction: Man City to Win

In the second Man City vs Real Madrid prediction, we are tipping the Cityzens to win the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Semifinals when they host Los Blancos at the Etihad on Wednesday, 17th May 2023. City's Haaland leads in the UCL score charts with 12 goals while Madrid's Vinicious Jr. is 5th in the scoring charts with 7 goals. The bookies have handed City an advantage here and there is hardly any doubt Pep's men are the huge favourites. For odds of 1.60, City's win probability is 62.50%. On the flip side, Los Blanco's chance of winning the game is 19.05% with odds of 5.25.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Man City

While City is our favourite to win the game, we also think there will be plenty of goals in the clash. Madrid has been formidable in the competition but this will be their most difficult trip in this season's Champions League campaign. City expected massive support at the Etihad on Wednesday. This is their chance to make the finals and potentially win their first-ever UCL trophy. Our final Man City vs Real Madrid prediction is a 3-1 win by Man City on 17th May 2023.

Man City vs Real Madrid Preview

Man City vs Real Madrid will be an epic battle when the two teams clash on Wednesday 17th May 2023 in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League, Semi-finals.  With both teams looking to progress to the UCL finals, Pep Guardiola's success at the Etihad has been without the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy and there is no doubt he will put a strong squad to face Ancelotti's men at the Etihad on Wednesday evening.

Madrid will be without Militao due to suspension while City's Palmer is nursing a calf injury with Nathan Ake also sidelined with a calf injury.

The first leg was a highly contested match that saw both teams score a goal each to settle for the spoils. Real Madrid has 4 shots on goal, 8 corner kicks and 2 yellow cards in the first leg of the semi-finals. On the flip side, Man City had 6 shots on goal, 7 corners and 2 yellow cards from the first leg, so we expect another competitive duel with more goals on Wednesday evening.
