Real Madrid vs Man City Prediction, Starting Lineups, and Odds: Best Bets for Wednesday's Game
Real Madrid host Manchester City in the second leg of their Champions League playoffs tie. Last week's game between these two sides was packed with drama and excitement as Real Madrid grabbed a late winner to give them the lead going to the Bernabeu.
This game starts at 20:00 and can be watched live on TNT Sports.
Real Madrid vs Man City Predictions
For my first tip I am backing Vinicius Jr to be carded in this game. Real Madrid's dynamic forward is known for his electrifying play and fiery temperament. This season, he's received five yellow cards and one red card in 18 La Liga matches, with three of these bookings for protesting referee decisions. He has also picked up three cards in the Champions League as well as one card in both the Copa Del Rey, Supercopa and Uefa Super Cup. In total, he has picked up 12 cards this season, which is quite high for a forward player. Since joining Real Madrid in 2018, Vinícius has accumulated 49 yellow cards.
Tomorrow's game will likely card heavy with both sides looking to qualify to the next round of the Champions League and Vinícius's passionate style could lead to another booking. His tendency to engage in disputes and react strongly to challenges makes him a candidate for a yellow card in high-stakes matches like this one. Betting on Vinícius Júnior to receive a card could be a smart move, considering his track record.

I also predict that Real Madrid will win this game. Real Madrid secured a thrilling 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium, with late goals from Brahim Díaz and Jude Bellingham and I expect them to get the job done at home.
Real Madrid have a fantastic home record against Manchester City in the Champions League, only losing one of six matches at the Bernabeu. With Manchester City a shell of the side they were in recent years, this goo run for Madrid is likely to continue.
Real Madrid, under the experienced guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, has a proven track record in European competitions, and at times, it feels like they are unbeatable in the Champions League. Their ability to perform in high-stakes matches, especially at home, makes them strong contenders to secure a win in this leg and progress further in the tournament
