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

Two European heavyweights go head-to-head once again on the biggest stage as Manchester City prepare to face Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first leg. Pep Guardiola's side travel to Madrid to face the reigning champions and will be looking for revenge after they were knocked out by Carlo Ancelotti's side last season.

The bookies are expecting a close encounter with City priced at 23/20 with Betfred while Madrid are the slight-favourites at 21/10 and a draw is 13/5. The two sides will meet for the ninth time tonight with both sides picking up three wins and two draws between them.

Heartbreak was the best way to describe the last meeting for City fans after going from a 5-3 lead on aggregate to extra-time when a brace from Rodrygo cancelled out City's lead before a Karim Benzema penalty secured Madrid's place in the final where they beat Liverpool in Paris.
