What speaks for Real Madrid vs Manchester City in the betting tip?
We begin our football predictions with the defending champions. Real Madrid played a rather mixed Champions League league phase, at the end of which one statistic in particular caught the eye: none of the eight games ended in a draw. The madridistas claimed five victories, but were also beaten three times. Including at home against AC Milan (1:3), meaning that the visitors from Manchester do not appear to be completely without a chance. However, we have only recorded home wins in five of the last six matches in the European top flight at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Strong home record with an unconvincing defense
Another thing that immediately catches the eye in today's betting tips is the high number of goals scored in Real's home games in the Champions League. Six times recently an Over 2.5 was always on, five times it was even four or more goals. And above all: In the last eight games at the Bernabeu, the home side's defense has been shaky at times - both teams have always scored goals and the Both Teams To score has worked out. Of the last 17 games at home in the Champions League, Real Madrid have only lost one.The madridistas were in mediocre form at CA Osasuna in La Liga and could not get past 1-1 at the weekend. But because Atletico also only drew 1-1 with Celta da Vigo, Real remain top of the table.
How good is Manchester City's current form?
The Sky Blues were anything but convincing in the league phase of the 2024/25 European premier class. In the end, they only managed a balanced record with three wins and three defeats and two draws. This left Man City in 22nd place, just just barely making it into the play-offs. The Skyblues picked up the three points they needed at home against FC Brugge (3:1). Just like Real, 32 goals were scored in the Sky Blues' eight matches, an average of exactly four goals per game.

Black streak in the Skyblues' away games
So does a goal bet over 3.5 make sense for your betting slip? At least Manchester City have scored four or more goals eight times in their last nine away games. However, the English side have not been successful away from home recently and have lost three games in a row in foreign stadiums. A 1:4 at Sporting Lisbon was followed by a 0:2 at Juventus Turin and finally a 2:4 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain. In the last twelve away games in the European premier class, Man City have only won once.Manchester City made short work of Newcastle United in the Premier League, winning 4-0 at the weekend thanks in part to new signing Omar Marmoush's brace.
Manchester City
System: 4-2-3-1.
Completely even balance in H2H comparison
The two clubs have already faced each other 13 times in the UEFA Champions League. And the H2H comparison suggests a potentially close affair. Because these clubs have drawn five times. Real and Man City have each scored four times so far. With 44 goals in these 13 encounters, the average is also a strong 3.4 goals, so we expect another match with a lot of goals. Especially as the Skyblues have to catch up and open up their defense early on.
