The fact that Manchester City and Real Madrid clash is enough for any bettor to stop for a moment and look around.

Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Preview

Manchester City

The Citizens are in a bad place, but they can still beat any team in the world. Losing to Arsenal at the Emirates 5-1 was a nasty slap in the face for Guardiola, who needs to find a way to navigate the Citizens out of this terrible situation.

Not losing at home for the last five games and winning the previous four gives courage to both the fans and players. City scored 18 goals over those four victories, and to be honest, that’s a great disparity between playing at home and on the road.

Right now, the biggest problem of the still reigning English Premier League champions is the fact that they often collapse on the defensive end. Against Real Madrid, that can’t and won’t be tolerated.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid also oscillates, but they are in much better shape than City. For the moment, they lead the La Liga standings and are through in the Spanish Cup. A last-second win over Leganes on the road, 2-3, this Wednesday surely erased the loss to Espanyol, 1-0, on the road last weekend.

Los Blancos’ results on the road have been excellent in recent times. They have five victories and one loss, with them netting two or more goals in each of the victories. Also, Real had three clean sheets throughout that stretch.

The situation with injuries is slowly improving, and all the best players are more or less fit for this contest. That means Carlo Ancelotti can use his best unit in Manchester.
