Real Madrid vs Man City Tips

Real Madrid win a lot of games at the Santiago Bernabéu and Man City’s away Champions League form is poor. Kylian Mbappe has hit top form in 2025 and he can fire Los Blancos into the last 16.

Man City have lost 3 consecutive UCL away matches.

Head to Head

Real Madrid have a 5-4 advantage against Man City in nine meetings with four draws.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid have a 3-2 first-leg advantage against Man City in the Champions League play-off. Los Blancos ended their group stage campaign with three consecutive wins to secure an 11th-place finish.

One of those victories was a 5-1 home triumph over Salzburg, which came during Los Blancos’ seven-match home winning streak. This run ended with a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid, where Mbappe got on the scoresheet.

The 3-2 win at Man City followed and Real Madrid came from behind twice to secure the first-leg triumph. Mbappe, Brahim Díaz and Jude Bellingham scored to complete the turnaround.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side couldn’t carry winning form into La Liga as they drew 1-1 at Osasuna on Saturday. Mbappe opened the scoring on 14 minutes and Los Blancos had 2.73 XG before conceding a second-half penalty.

Real Madrid Injuries

Defensive trio Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão and Lucas Vázquez are sidelined with injuries.

Man City Form

Pep Guardiola’s Man City suffered their third Champions League defeat in four against Real Madrid. The 3-2 loss followed defeats at Juventus 2-0 and PSG 4-2 and a 3-1 home win over Club Brugge.

City have been in unconvincing form recently and followed the Brugge win with a 5-1 loss at Arsenal. A narrow 2-1 FA Cup win at Leyton Orient came before the 3-2 home defeat to Real Madrid.

The Citizens responded with a 4-0 home win against Newcastle in the Premier League. Omar Marmoush scored a first-half hat-trick and James McAtee capped the dominant display with a late fourth.

Man City Injuries

Erling Haaland, Oscar Bobb, Nathan Aké, Jack Grealish and Rúben Dias are injury doubts.

Midfielder Rodri and defender Manuel Akanji are ruled out due to injury.

Verdict

Real Madrid v Man City

Real Madrid can control this match against a City side that has often been outplayed away in the Champions League. Mbappe is in fine scoring form and can net in a fourth consecutive match on Wednesday.
