Game Preview
The fact that City struggles against Leyton Orient in the FA Cup this Saturday says a lot about the current state of this unit. They’ve won 1-2, but the overall impression of the mixed lineup left wasn’t good.
The only positive aspects of City’s current form are four consecutive home wins and 18 goals scored during this span. The victims were West Ham, Salford, Chelsea and Club Brugge.
Most goal involvements against Real Madrid in the Champions League?

Real Madrid played the Madrid derby this Saturday night and tied the game 1-1. Atletico defended well in the second half, and Los Blancos couldn’t break its defense once more after equalizing.
Carlo Ancelotti’s unit plays interesting road games. Why? Well, nine of their previous 10 outings have ended with over 2.5 goals. The Spanish titans have seven wins during this stretch, with two losses and one tie.
Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Head to Head
Last season, the two teams met in the quarterfinals, and after 3-3 in Madrid and 1-1 in Manchester, Real won via penalties.
Of the last eight games, seven were with both teams scoring and six with over 2.5 goals.
Manchester City vs. Real Madrid Prediction
The Citizens have a much better offense than defense, and we could say the same for Real. Tradition points towards a high-scoring affair, and we will pick both teams to score and over 2.5 goals here.
