Real Madrid vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (19 February)

Last Tuesday, Real Madrid did Real Madrid by winning, after a scenario once again incredible. Led until the last minutes by City, Casa Blanca has achieved a new feat to equalize and even take the advantage in the last moments of the game, enjoying gifts offered by English defense to take a option on taking an option on qualification 2-3. The league phase had not been impeccable for the Merengue who had taken the 11th place final thanks in particular to its latest successes against Atalanta 2-3, Salzburg 5-1 and Brest 0-3. On the national scene, Carlo Ancelotti's players are still struggling to try to keep their title of Spanish champion. Held in check by Atlético Madrid, they will be opposed to Osasuna next weekend. From its side, Manchester City can clearly display some regrets after the first leg.

While she seemed to have taken an ascendant by taking the advantage of the scoring in the last 10 minutes, this British training scuttled itself and was unable to keep this small margin in advance in the display board and it even ended up bowing 2-3. A classic finally this season for the men of Pep Guardiola who are far from the level displayed in recent years. Proof of it is, they had to wait for the last day of the league phase and a complicated victory obtained against the Bruges 3-1 club to validate their place for the dams. In the Premier League, the Sky-Blues are completely unhooked in the title race and they must above all take care to tear off their place in the Top 4, qualifying for the Champions League. Humiliated at Arsenal 5-1, they will have to be serious against Newcastle next weekend. 

As in the first leg, Carlo Ancelotti must only deal in defense without the Militao and Carvajal executives who are injured of very long duration. Still in the back, the rough Central Rüdiger, the experienced Alaba who had just paid and the right side Vazquez are again available but a start of them is not expected. The hinge should once again be composed by Tchouameni and Asencio. Of course, the Italian technician should renew his confidence in his offensive cadors that are Bellingham (11 goals, 10 assists in all competitions), Rodrygo (12 goals, 7 TCC decisive assists), Vinicius JR (16 goals, 11 TCC assists ) and Mbappé (23 TCC goals) who had notably had a lot of success to equalize during the first leg. The last city has completely revived after having had complicated beginnings in its new colors. Due to City, the Guardiola collective obviously always suffers from the absence of his Ballon d'Or, Rodri, who is still recovering from his rupture of the crossed ligaments.

Also package for defender Akanji, injured in the first leg. The young winger Bobb, the winter recruit Nico Gonzalez (ex-porto) and the Grealish winger could also miss this trip to the Bernabeu. The winter recruits attracted at gold prices that are the Egyptian Marmoush (ex-Francfort) and the central defender Khusanov (ex-Lens) should be present unlike the young Brazilian defender Vitor Reis (ex-Palmeiras) who 'was not registered on the list of players allowed to play this competition. Mute against Real Madrid until last week, the Norwegian Haaland finally broke the curse by scoring a double in the first leg. Foden, Bernardo Silva and de Bruyne will also be present to try to reverse the trend.
