Real Madrid vs Man City: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, odds

Carlo Ancelotti’s side were made to look thoroughly ordinary as City romped to a first Champions League crown in their history but have looked stronger since.

The arrival of Jude Bellingham has helped matters of course and the fact Madrid have a nine-day break between fixtures cannot be ignored.

Guardiola has hit out at that scheduling as his team contest a gruelling title race with Arsenal and Liverpool and, on Saturday, watched his team turn on the style in the second-half to beat Crystal Palace.

Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba will not play again this season while Vinicius Jr returns from a domestic suspension.

City brought Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne back into their starting line-up for the win over Palace, while Ederson returned to the bench. Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva were rested.

City are generally fairly cautious away from home in big European games, so it’s difficult to see them giving too much away.

Real Madrid to win: 17/10
