Manchester City vs Real Madrid prediction and odds ahead of Champions League clash

Manchester City is gearing up for an electrifying face-off as they host Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium, marking their third Champions League encounter in consecutive seasons. The anticipation is sky-high following a captivating 3-3 draw in their last meeting, leaving fans eager for a repeat of the magic seen during City's 4-0 triumph over Carlo Ancelotti's squad on their previous visit to Manchester.

The stakes are high as the two football giants prepare to clash once again with the bookies leaning towards Manchester City, with CopyBet placing them as the favourites at 8/13 while Real Madrid stands at 4/1 and a draw is also on the table at 16/5. If City secure their semi-final place tonight, they will be only the second side to beat Real Madrid in back-to-back season since AC Milan achieved the feat in the 1989/90 season.

Both teams are leading contenders in their respective domestic leagues, with Manchester City holding an edge despite facing stiff competition from Arsenal and Liverpool. The recent weekend's outcomes have played to their advantage, but the pressure remains. On the other hand, Real Madrid carries with them an air of expectancy to excel in such high-calibre matches, a sentiment undoubtedly echoed by Ancelotti to his team.
