Contents
Manchester City to Win
This is the biggest test yet for Manchester City this season and probably the biggest game of Guardiola's career at the club since Man City is the favourite to win and get to the final, where they would have a very beatable opponent, whoever of the two Milan clubs goes through.
Yes, Real Madrid is the defending champion and they seem to always find a way to win, but this is a game where Man City has everything to succeed, including home court. So, our first Manchester City vs Real Madrid prediction is for the Citizens to win the game.
Erling Haaland to Score Anytime
The ‘robot’, as some Manchester City fans call him, bagged 33 goals in 33 league fixtures and is looking like a firm favorite for the Golden Boot this season. If it wasn’t for Lionel Messi’s tremendous run in the World Cup, we’re sure that Erling would’ve been a frontrunner for the Ballon d’Or as well.
Many people are questioning whether or not he can perform under pressure and this game will show what he is made of. We believe in Man City and in the young Norvewegian, which is why our second Manchester City vs Real Madrid prediction is for Haaland to score at any time.
