Man City to win – These two sides must be sick of the sight of each other, facing off seven times since 2022. City beat Real Madrid in the Bernabeu in the league phase in December and look to have the momentum, with some key injuries to Los Blancos star men.

Haaland to score – Haaland hit blanks for the first four matches he played Real in City colours. He has now plundered three goals in his last two appearances against the Spanish side. Having been rested at the weekend, he’ll be fit and firing.

Vinicius Jr to score – 12 of Vinicius Jr’s last 13 Champions League goals have come after half time. This suggests it will be hard to keep the ‘second half assassin’ quiet for the full 90 minutes, despite City’s upturn in form since partnering Ruben Dias with new signing Marc Guehi in defence.

In Kylian Mbappe’s absence, Vini Jr will be the man Madrid turn to, to fire them to victory.

Both teams to be carded – Caution! This first-leg may not be for the feint hearted. Pep Guardiola is currently serving a domestic two-match touchline ban for picking up his sixth yellow card of the season.

As for this clash, there’s up to eight players including Nico O’Reilly, Vini Jr and Aurelien Tchouameni just one booking away from a ban. So the law of averages suggest at least one of these players will miss the second leg by picking up another yellow card.

What is a Bet Builder?

You’re in control with Bet Builders, as you can create and customize your own unique bets.

Bet Builders comprise of two or more bet selections combined to create one bet at better odds the more you add.

So, say if you fancy Man United to win, for the game to see 10+ corners, Danny Welbeck to score and 3+ cards in the match, you can then open the builder and build your unique bet yourself for bigger combined odds than betting on four single bets!
