Manchester City vs Real Madrid best bet: Man City/Man City halftime/full time double result (+130)
It could be another banner week for Manchester City with the Premier League title and a place in the Champions League final up for grabs, and they should start things right with a comfortable win over Real Madrid. The Citizens could wrap up a 5th EPL title in the last 6 seasons at the weekend, but before then there’s the small matter of the second leg of their European tie with Real Madrid, which is finely poised after a 1-1 tie in Spain. City controlled the early exchanges of a cagey first leg before a positive response by Real, who are +450 to win the return game as they seek to maintain an excellent record of qualifying from 4 of their last 5 semifinal ties.
But this treble-chasing City team is one of the best we’ve ever seen, making a mockery of what was billed as a tricky weekend trip to Everton by cruising to a 3-0 victory. Since the end of February, Pep Guardiola’s men have won 16 of their last 18 matches, while at the Etihad, they’ve won their last 15 games in all competitions. In the 2 home legs of their Champions League knockout ties this season, they’ve seized control of the game early and should repeat that trick here as they seek to avenge last season’s semifinal loss to Real. Back Manchester City to be winning this game at half time and full time.
