Things are exciting as we approach the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarterfinals, as two matches in the first leg ended up in a draw, and now, we dive right into the second game in one of them.

Real Madrid were the hosts in the first leg, where they played out an exhilarating 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu, which was contested, as both teams played back and forth. Manchester City has managed to extend their Champions League unbeaten run, and now that they will be hosting this clash, things are looking pretty neat for them.

With both teams giving us an exciting first leg, we can only expect this final encounter to be remarkable.

Why Bet on Manchester City?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City took their unbeaten run in the Champions League to 22 matches.\u00a0 <\/strong>That is remarkable for a team that doesn’t have a long-lasting tradition in the competition, as they look well poised to break Manchester United’s record of 25 for the Premier League teams.

In the league, the Citizens celebrated as a rutinary 5-1 win over Luton Town at the Etihad ended up granting them the first place, as Liverpool and Arsenal flopped in their chances to overtake them. The thrashing against the Hatters also improved their GD to 44, allowing them to surpass the Reds in that regard and approach the Gunners. <\/strong>

Now they face a great challenge, but one that is a copy-paste from the one of last season, so they’ll want to repeat it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Real Madrid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Casa Blanca looked to impose respect at home in the first leg of this Champions League quarterfinals.<\/a> It seemed like they would do so as a furious couple of minutes granted them the comeback after Bernardo Silva’s early goal, but it wasn’t to be.\u00a0

Last season’s thrashing is still in the memory, so a team this size cannot stand still, considering everything in play.\u00a0 Previous to this remarkable match, they got an 0-1 win visiting Mallorca, thus maintaining their great advantage at the top of la LaLiga for another week and getting closer to the title. <\/strong>

This may be the most difficult match they’ll face towards the end of the season, as they have never won at the Etihad, but the Merengues must try their all and trust in their hierarchy. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis:\u00a0Manchester City vs. Real Madrid<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first leg in Madrid was nothing short of a classic, with holders City taking the lead twice before being denied victory by Federico Valverde’s 79th-minute finish.\u00a0

However, the situation is familiar for Pep Guardiola’s side who, in last season’s semifinals, left Madrid with a draw (1-1 rather than 3-3) and then stormed into the final with a 4-0 home success. Now they are looking to do a repeat, and taking a look at the betting odds, it seems like it is not just us that are thinking that it’d be the most likely scenario to happen.

We are going to be placing our betting token on Manchester City to continue their unbeaten European campaign and reach the semifinals as they try to become both the Premier League and UEFA Champions twice in a row.\u00a0 We’ll go for a 3-1. <\/strong>

Go for a victory for the locals at 1.695. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $69.5 for a total payout of $169.5 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
