As stated above, Manchester City and Real Madrid are superb goalscoring sides.

Given this data, we predict Manchester City vs Real Madrid will end with over 2.5 goals.

Match Preview for Manchester City vs Real Madrid

Manchester City were one match away from being eliminated from the Champions League in the league phase. They had to come from a goal down to beat Club Brugge 3-1 at the Etihad and finished in the top 24. However, their chances of advancing to the next round are slim, as they will come up against Champions League guru, Real Madrid, in a two-legged playoff.

Real Madrid do not necessarily have to be in superb form to reach the Champions League final. The last few times they won the UCL, they were not particularly special. However, they endured similar paths in the recently concluded league phase and coming up against an inconsistent Man City side suggests they may have a chance. Both teams may have struggled to dominate these meetings, but Real’s vast Champions League experience may give them the edge.
