Manchester City: Current form and team news
Pep Guardiola's side had a dream weekend! First they thrashed Luton Town 5-1 and then they watched Liverpool and Arsenal lose against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa respectively. Now, the Citizens are leading the Premier League, two points clear of the Gunners.
Another reason to be happy is the empty injury list. Even Kyle Walker is back, although he didn't feature against Luton.
Real Madrid: Current form and team news
With eight-point gap between them and second-placed Barcelona, and just seven games left to play, it looks like Los Blancos are very likely to secure the league title yet again.
However, Carlo Ancelotti's men aren't losing focus and keep collecting as many points as possible. Against Mallorca, Real Madrid won 1-0. More importantly, they did it without several key players, apparently to keep them fresh for the Man City game.
Vinicius Jr, Camavinga, Rodrygo and Kroos were on the bench at Mallorca. Moreover, out of those four, only Vinicius featured in that game. Against Man City, Madrid will be missing long-term absentees Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba. Besides, Aurelien Tchouameni will not play due to suspension.

Man City vs Real Madrid: Prediction and betting tip
Bookies rate Man City as huge favourites, and it's easy to see why: they can win games without shifting out of second gear. However, Real Madrid aren't Luton, and they will most likely be unfazed with the opponents' status and form.
Even Pep Guardiola expects Los Blancos to score against his team, and we aren't going to doubt him. That's why we suggest betting on Real Madrid's goals.
