The Champions League quarter-finals will offer some very interesting matches, one of which will undoubtedly be the Real Madrid vs Manchester City clash. Tuesday’s contest has no clear favourite, Los Blancos will try to take advantage of the support of the home crowd. You can see if they succeed on Tuesday 9 April at 21:00 on Premier Sport 2.

Real Madrid’s huge lead, Citizens’ tough schedule

Eight rounds from the end of the season, Real Madrid are top of La Liga with an eight-point lead over Barcelona, their age-old rival and closest pursuer. Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti’s charges can now turn their attention to success on the European stage. In the eighth round, they took on Germany’s Leipzig after two evenly-matched matches.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have a very close battle for the top spot in the Premier League, plus an FA Cup semi-final awaits them. However, given the importance of the match, I don’t expect too many changes in the line-up. They have a home game against Luton at the weekend, which they should manage without too much trouble.

Betting tip – Manchester City will not lose

Manchester City have had a busy week in which they have played two games. However, it has managed to win both of them, in addition to scoring eight goals in them. I expect the English side to score goals on Tuesday as well and bring a promising result for the rematch. Real Madrid, on the other hand, did not play this weekend, so they are expected to be very physically prepared.
